In a print exclusive for its publication the ICv2 Retailers Guide To Games, released this week at the GAMA trade show, ICv2 has analyzed the market size of the major game categories sold in pop culture stores in the U.S.--CCGs, miniature games, specialty board games, and roleplaying games.  While everyone who deals in games is aware of the market shifts and fluctuations as properties blossom and burn out (Pokemon) and powerful new categories appear (collectible miniature games), there has been very little information published on the size of the market for CCGs, miniature games, and RPGs.  Some of the key players in the industry are privately-held companies, which don't have to divulge sales, while others are major toy conglomerates, which do provide quarterly sales figures though it often takes some legwork to ferret out exactly what portion of the sales pertains to what category of games.  Over the past several months, ICv2 has been talking to the companies involved to try and get a more complete picture of these markets, and the articles in this magazine are the result.  One conclusion is that games from these categories represent a bigger market relative to some other categories sold in pop culture stores--total sales for CCGs, CMGs, board games, and RPGS are bigger than annual sales of anime and manga combined, and much larger than total comic book sales.
