How some can get behind certain things that don't need that much energy is passion but all I'm elaborating on is the microeconomics of what's represented in the OP. It seems like talking about the obvious (something right out of a Michael Parkin book on economics) gets people tense, so I'll help those who may be a little ignorant to the issue.
It's called a downward demand slope, it tends to happen when interest isn't there anymore. This is the only reason short of a cataclysmic disaster that could augment to the demand. It happens when the values aren't changing, the consumer has no reason to buy something they already own, in gaming it's about experiences because it's entertainment. So to reiterate the consumer has no reason to buy something they have already experienced.
I have nothing against FF7 or 6 or whatever, I unlike some people don't care to waste energies in that direction. Just a friendly comment is all I was making a note of information that isn't even my own but can be cited from any Macroeconomic text. LITERALLY ANY text you read on Macroeconomics elaborates on what the numbers in the OP represent. They even have pictures usually. =)
I'm Unamerica and you can too.
