Strange, I've heard otherwise. I could've sworn their was a topic on this forum that talked about IGN's viewership being a fraction of what it was even a few years ago.

Not according to this (http://corp.ign.com).

"We capture one of the top concentration of men ages 18-34 online*, driving over 37.2MM unique views and 532MM page views each month with leading sites including IGN and AskMen. For millions of guys, we have cemented our reputation as an authoritative voice on games, entertainment and men's lifestyle by delivering sharp opinions and ground-breaking visual content. For you, we offer the creativity, authenticity and relevance to help you engage our vital, premium audience.

*Threshold of 1 Million target reach
comScore Media Metrix, March 2010 WW; Nielsen @Plan Rel 1 2010

With a male composition index pushing one and a half times the online average and heaps of traffic, our original properties together reach 1 in 5 men online in the 18-34 age range. Simply put, we do a better job of applying your media dollar directly to the young male demographic you need to reach. Matched by our breakthrough creative and guy acumen, our pitch adds up to integrated, targeted campaigns with room to scale: it could only be better if our rate cards were printed on crisp bacon."

There's more on that page, but it looks like they're doing fine as-is.

Alexa had them going down on viewership overall, but that seems to be talking about the 18-34 male demographic, they tried to launch a separate site catered to women and other gamers but it didn't seem to pan out.  So it might just be viewership for the that target demographic is up but overall is down.
