"A lot of that depends on the games. The American audience loves action and team games so I think CS will need to reemerge or a new team game will need to develop to help build the PC scene beyond what I feel is the emergence of RTS with SC2. As for the Console market, they are really dependant on Halo unless a new game comes along. So for the North American scene the real challenge is the large split in Console and PC gaming. I’m not sure if this divide will ever be fixed, but if it could, the eSports scene would benefit greatly and probably create a game and audience that would blow the rest of the world away. There have already been some attempts with a game like Shadowrun which was well done for PC and Console, but didn’t quite have the right stuff to go massive. Other groups have talked about making that one eSport game but honestly it might be just a unicorn. The actually realization of this cross platform game would be a key to making eSports massive in North America, which would of course benefit everyone worldwide with the dollars the American economy could invest.
