The video games industry realized a significant decline when compared to June 2008, the fourth consecutive month of year-over-year declines. The first half of the year has been tough largely due to comparisons against a stellar first half performance last year, but still, this level of decline is certainly going to cause some pain and reflection in the industry.

Because the question invariably arises, this month saw the greatest year-over-year monthly decline since September 2000 when the industry declined 41% .

Even with the industry down 12% year-to-date, with a strong back-half performance, full year sales could still be flat to slightly up to 2008’s record-breaking performance. Of course, that could be put further at risk if more highly anticipated titles move out of 2009 into 2010 or later.

Our latest gamer segmentation study suggests that more than 4 million new ‘players’ have entered the games market since last year, so certainly the decline isn’t due to less folks participating in the industry . Some of these are new retail consumers and some are playing online for free, and others are a mix of both. The trick is to continue to figure out how to monetize all the gaming that is going on across PC, mobile devices, and video game systems. Certainly there is plenty of opportunity in the industry, but the rate of change in many areas of the industry presents a lot of challenge as well .
