Expert Insights on Video Game Industry

The Video Game Industry is the business sector involved with the development, marketing, and sale of video and computer games. This industry was once a niche market and now generates more than $7 billion annually in the U.S. alone. The video game industry can be classified into two broad disciplines: software and hardware. Software refers to the publishing, design, and integration of video games; hardware refers to the consoles and peripherals that are used to operate or play video games.

Gerson Lehrman Group Council Members are available to discuss Video Game Industry via phone consultations, live meetings, surveys, and other custom GLG products and services.
