| Kenoid said: Does decreasing sales of the current generation titles compared to older ones show signs that the gaming industry is not as good as it is all hyped up to be? Here are some of the best old titles: Super Mario Bros. - 40.24m Super Mario Bros. 3 - 17.28m Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas - 18.24m Gran Turismo - 10.85m Now here are the current ones: Mario Kart Wii - 21.65m New Super Mario Bros. Wii - 13.23m Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 - 10.20m Grand Theft Auto IV - 6.40m Note: Although there are certainly more games, and that most are multiplatformers, the fact that there are lower console selling rates than the previous generations and even great AAA titles not selling as well as mario shows that people are getting less appreciative of gaming. Maybe motion control will change all that |
I think the gaming industry is struggling. Look at all the studio closings. If a mid-range studio doesn't get it right the first time,then they could be in big trouble. If your a really big studio like Ea,then you can afford to take some losses. I think the increasing cost of games has something to do with the industry struggling.
