August - December: Too Many Games?

[Domicinator]

*sigh*

Once again, it seems that there is a total lack of understanding here of the way the gaming business works. (Yes, gaming is a business, and it's a GIGANTIC business at that.)

This happens every year, and it will always happen every year. In every business, not just gaming. September through December is holiday shopping season. Unless you cancel the holidays, you're never going to be able to change the fact that an obscene amount of new games come out at that time of year. That's the time of year that the stores are packed and people are shopping for the gamers in their lives. And that's the bread and butter time of year for the console companies because they're expecting to sell hardware at a more accelerated rate.

All that adds up to more games in the holiday shopping season. I actually look forward to it to be honest. It's my favorite time of year because it seems like there's always something brand new to play. Yeah, I get a little backlogged, but it's a happy dilemma to have. And this year is going to be especially bad because the console war is absolutely insane right now.

Don't complain. Just be happy the summer drought is over and that it wasn't much of a drought this year anyway.
