Consumers spent nearly ten billion dollars on videogame software last year, according to data from the NPD Group and the Entertainment Software Association. The bulk of that was on console games, which saw $6.6 billion in sales. Handheld software saw $2 billion, while PC games trailed with $0.9 billion.

This data represents U.S. software sales and does not include hardware numbers.

In 2007, I think I payed maybe $40 for a used Xbox and modding equipment, and $20 on a used copy of Final Fantasy VIII xD
