But it has some confusing numbers about casual and download games:

According to it "Casual gaming sites ... had sales of around $52 million in 2005 and had 1.05 million paid subscribers", do you think "sales" include "subscription fees"?

And last statement, "digital downloads appeared to have contributed about 3 percent of total PC market sales in 2005, which would amount to about $42 million", is this for "non casual games" ?
