The week ending April 4, 2009 ended the day before the DSi launched in the Americas. So even though the market is down compared to last week and last April, the incoming DSi launch should insure the video game market in the Americas rises above April 2008 levels after a brief drop this week. Given the games released in that period – like Grand Theft Auto IV and Mario Kart Wii – it is quite impressive that the video game industry continues to grow.
