Those guys are still all pretty convinced that games - being the new kid on the block and having all that engagement and all those revenues and that whole social thing and the crazy mobile thing and the stuff with fremium - are the future and thus TV must be afraid and then copy games and steal from games.

I could mention PSN if you're not convinced. They glitch and break, are buggy, and if you're playing anything more traditional than Angry Birds, require some knowledge of formats and controllers and tropes and I could go on. You press the same button later and TV stops happening. You press a button and television happens. Inventor Danny Hillis described technology perfectly as 'things that don't work yet'. No, nope, wrong, TV is brilliant and it won't be going anywhere for a very long time indeed. They're buggy, and if you're playing anything more traditional than Angry Birds, they require some knowledge of formats and controllers" The internet will kill it before the end of the afternoon, we'll all be getting everything via video-on-demand and social search, beamed directly to our iPads, and all broadcasters will be broken-up for scrap and whatever's left over will be thrown into the sea.

Movies are about $50 billion and music perhaps $40 billion. Very roughly, videogames are worth maybe $60 billion a year, worldwide. I mean, you may think that videogames are pretty big, but that's just peanuts compared to TV. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mindbogglingly big it is.
