Why is the video game market not mentioned more in magazines or newspapers?

Because they are smart and spend their advertising dollars on target markets that better suit their core audience. Why waste money on Newspapers and magazines… a dying breed… when you can put less money into advertising on specific targeted websites and get 20 times the exposure? :)

What @torchingigloos says. Gamers aren’t known for reading newspapers or magazines, so the advertising targets the web, and special-interest gaming & computer magazines.

I see high-profile games like Call of Duty and Gran Turismo advertised on TV from time to time, especially in the run-up to Christmas.

Because video game makers are smarter than other companies.

Because they are mentioned in Video Game magazines such as Gampro, Game Informer, etc.

I agree with all of these answers, and I think that there are a few big gaming magazines but for the most part….us gamers stick with the internet for the latest news. We like having discussions, polling and getting our information in real-time instead of waiting for a magazine to come out with new ratings and reviews.

What, does no one read GameInformer? I’m not sure, but I think that qualifies as a full fledged magazine right there.

I meant more specifically in financial/investing.
