Personally there are like 4-5 titles that came out in the last 2 months I still want to purchase but I only purchase a game when I am done with the old one, end result is I will probably be picking some of those games by the times they have started to be discounted.
If the release had been stretched accross all the year I would have picked most of them on release day....

Releasing 15+ AA titles in the same 2 months period AND at the same time Wow releases it's latest expansion is folly...
Wow players don't represent a huge amount of console owners, but I can guarantee few of them are actually thinking of purchasing console games right when they just got the expansion that has been 2 years in the making...

 

Actually, I found out a very surprising amount of people on my server have consoles, and most of them have not touched theirs since WOTLK came out. It is outright stupid to release ANYTHING major around the same time that Blizzard releases a game, even if it is just an expansion. Except if you are Valve or Nintendo, those are the only 2 other companies which would be fine releasing at the same time period.
