ioi said: ODST won't particularly shift hardware. At this point in the lifecycle of a console, there aren't many games that do shift hardware on their own - it is more the collective effect of all games. Both PS3 and 360 will have strong holidays (compared to the rest of 2009). This has been a strange year - Jacob pointed out to me that we've only had 34 million-sellers so far in 2009 vs 100 by September last year. Tough financial times combined with a lack of really huge releases means that 2009 has been a fairly poor year to date, but September - December is definitely stronger than last year, so should see some ground made up. |
I can't even begin to imagine how much stronger it would have been if all these big titles hadn't been delayed to avoid MW2 lol.
