PC gaming seems to have bounced back in 2006 and 2007. A lot of this seems to be from World of Warcraft, specifically the new expansion Burning Crusade. I had no idea that PC games were making a comeback, but that's pretty awesome. :)

"The robust performance we're seeing in PC game sales can be tied to several key titles across several genres," NPD analyst Anita Frazer told the Times. "But we'd be remiss not to address the continued success of World of Warcraft."

To underline WOW's success, the Times cites NPD figures showing a 43 percent increase in MMORPG sales. However, nowhere does the article mention the main reason for the genre's 2007 spike--the release of World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade.
