  > And that music streaming service probably comes close to maxing out the entertainment most people can get from purchasing music There is a large population of concert goers, and large market for music merchandise and musical instruments. I'd be surprised is music streaming services comprise 50% of the total music market, although they might be more than 50% of all recorded music.

    >There is a large population of concert goers If we're talking about concerts though, you're talking about a higher cost per hour than movies. Not comparable to $120 for hundreds of hours. >market for music merchandise I'm going to avoid merch because games have merch too, so it doesn't really seem worth comparing. >and musical instruments Musical instruments, for people who are interested, probably do provide a higher entertainment value per dollar than games, but they are definitely a much smaller niche market.
