Fresh on the heels of a report indicating the number of M-rated games released in 2007 declined from the previous year, the NPD has released new findings that point to an increase in the overall revenue earned by Mature titles.
On average each E-rated console software title released in 2007 earned an average of $7.6 million. The previous year the same category of software earned $7.7 million per game. A similar modest decrease can be seen in average revenue of T-rated console software. A much more significant decrease can be seen in the revenues of E10+ rated console software.
The real story here is what happened with M-rated console software. A jump of nearly 64% revenue for M-rated console games between 2006 and 2007.
