There's several reasons... People like new releases better is most of it though. (Resident Evil 4 did well because owners of Nintendo systems needed that kind of game at the time. They weren't getting that many and it helps that it's a great game... I liked it and most generally that's not my cup of tea.)
Boycotting the following:
1. Yoshi: He ate my car and spit out a toaster.
2. Igglybuff: Totally false advertisement. You can have as many as you like they don't buff nothing.
3. the Terms Hardcore/Softcore... We're talking Video Games. Not Porn.
4. The term Casual as relates to Gamers: We make them sound like outsider's that happen to play games. If that were the case they'd own a PS3.
5. Donuts.... Beacause I drink Beer...... and the biggest fan of Donuts hates Beer.
6. Boycotts: Their so lame.
