I'm only referring to consoles and major PC gaming titles

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. I am not cherry picking, this is just ONE OF THE BEST form each console

Maybe motion control will change all that

GTA 4 is at 13 million for both consoles, not sure why you only put the PS3 version.

Halo 3- 10 million

MW2 - 20 million

Wii sports resort- 14 million

 

Sales are not doing bad, there just not doing good alone on the PS3 nor 360.
