A recent PricewaterhouseCoopers study has predicted that online gaming revenues will hit a monstrous $68.3 billion by 2012. A recent Gamespot piece claims these figure will exceed all other forms of online media business aside from online advertising.

"The company predicts console games–led by the Wii, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3–will go from $24.9 billion in 2007 to $34.7 billion in 2012, an annual growth rate of 6.9 percent. This increase will apparently come at the expense of the PC, which will see revenue slip 1.2 percent annually, from $3.8 billion in 2007 to $3.6 billion in 2012."

Hey, we might not all like them, but they're clearly making money for someone out there.
