The NPD Group just released their numbers for computer game sales. According to their numbers PC game software sales saw an increase of one percent over 2005, up to a little more than $970 million.
Factoring in the mammoth console sales, that means that the game industry raked in close to $13.5 billion, an 18 percent increase over the previous year, and a 15% increase over the previous record achieved in 2002.
