Those statistics do not surprise me at all with the huge success of the Wii in 2007 and the plethora of awesome games for xbox 360, it was a very good year for gamers. I thought i would never play as many good games as i did in 1998 but 2007 is right up there. Those statistics are very impressive but think about that those stats in the light of Nintendo facing supply problems with their console and Microsofts hardware failures, these two problems alone had a big impact on the market in 2007.
