Trends

In 2005, the total U.S. sales of video game hardware, software and accessories rose 6% over 2004 to $10.5 billion USD ($9.9 billion, 2004) breaking 2002's $10.3 billion record for the industry.

The increase is largely due to the portable game market which counterbalanced sluggish console game sales. Delays, hardware shortages, and anticipation of next-generation video game consoles have been cited as reasoning for slow sales for both console games and console hardware. Console games and hardware dropped by 12% and 3% respectively.

The portable market of the video game industry rose to $1.4 billion, the second time sales broke the $1 billion mark in the industry's history. Mostly due to the release of the Nintendo DS and the PlayStation Portable in North America, sales for portable hardware rose 96% over 2004. Although the release of the Nintendo DS and the Sony PSP aided in spurring growth in the portable market, the Game Boy Advance still represented 62% total portable software units sold and 52% of total portable software dollar sales.{{cite web |title=NPD Group's Annual 2005 U.S. Video Game Industry Retail Sales |url=http://www.npd.com/dynamic/releases/press_060117.html |access-date=January 17, 2006 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060204082521/http://www.npd.com/dynamic/releases/press_060117.html |archive-date=February 4, 2006 |url-status=dead |df=mdy }}

Computer games continued its trend and declined by 14%, dropping from $1.1 billion in 2004 to $953 million. Although sales did decrease, NPD claims that playing games on the PC is actually increasing through a variety of different mediums including online websites and MMO subscriptions.{{cite web |title=NPD Group's Annual 2005 U.S. PC Game Retail Sales |url=http://www.npd.com/dynamic/releases/press_060117a.html |access-date=January 17, 2006 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060204090152/http://www.npd.com/dynamic/releases/press_060117a.html |archive-date=February 4, 2006 |url-status=dead |df=mdy }}

Additionally, Microsoft's Xbox 360, Sony's PlayStation 3 and Nintendo's Wii were officially unveiled during or just prior to E3; however, only the Xbox 360 was released in 2005. The Xbox 360 was released in North America on November 22, Europe on December 2, and Japan on December 10.
