Japanese Game Industry on Track for Record Year
GameDaily BIZ - July 5, 2007

Thanks in large part to Nintendo's platforms, the Japanese video game industry has seen nearly 26 percent growth during the first half of 2007. The sales pace of software and hardware has picked up since 2006, and Famitsu expects great results for the second half as well.
Although the Japanese video game industry had been in decline in recent years, the state of gaming across the Pacific has definitely seen an upswing. Last year set a new record for the industry with over 600 billion in sales. According to the first-half report sent to GameDaily BIZ by the Famitsu Marketing Data Service, 2007 is shaping up to be even better.
