The last 5 years have been especially good for developers. The Call of Duty video game series is a shining example of what can go right when all the proper techniques are employed. There have been 7 different titles delivered from the makers of Call of Duty, and the current title had over $1 billion in sales in the first week alone. This is perfect news for the company, as they are getting ready to release the newest addition to the series, Modern Warfare 3, later this year. It is rumored to be released just before the start of holiday shopping season, and could mean a very profitable sales figure for the company. Now that titans like Playstation and Xbox make it possible to play video games online with gamers around the world in real time, it can be expected that these games will only grow in popularity.

Another critical factor in the growth of the video game industry is the quality of work the studios produce. One look at the previous Call of Duty titles will tell you that Modern Warfare 3 is sure to be one of the most technically amazing games ever produced. The video game marketplace will continue to support this trend as long as the market supports it. Many people are always willing to pay over $60 just to play a game, which is why they can sell so many games in the first week.

As tech advances, we can expect that the industry will continue to be a force in pushing the envelope. It should also be important to watch what happens with the mobile game industry, as that market is massive and still relatively untapped.
