Kakuro to take over from Sudoku?

Interesting report from the International Federation of the Periodical Press about magazine launches around the world and in particular their report of the launch of Total Kakuro. Here’s part of what they say:

Justine Wall, publisher of Future’s puzzle portfolio, said: “The word of mouth around Kakuro is steadily building and is set to be the biggest new challenge for puzzlers next year. Not only is it incredibly addictive, but it’s for everyone who has mastered Su Doku and is now looking for a new and taxing challenge.”

The crossword segment is very strong in Australia and the Sudoku market has reached a plateau recently so a new game to take Sudoku fans to a new level would be good to see.
