The phrase that gets thrown around the games industry a lot right now is 'Survive until 2025'.
The hope, or even the expectation, is that next year will see the games business bounce back after two years of faltering sales and mass redundancies.
There are a few reasons for this expectation. First, there's the belief that we'll see continued economic recovery and falling inflation rates, which should result in increased consumer spending and investment. Second, the launch of a new Nintendo console should spark increased interest and sales of new games.
