how come its a sweet spot if no other title in the past have managed to do COD number in Summer.. how come suddenly last of us is the one and summer now viable release window and if that is true shouldn't past title released in summer should have done the same numbers, then last of us would have been equaling their record not COD's.. |
Give me the name of one other top tier game that came out during the summer in the last 5 years. Far as I know, there aren't any.

Well unless your definition of "top tier game" differs from mine. A simple list off the top of my head would be..
Animal Crossing
Spec Ops the Line
Ghost Recon Future Soldier (end of may release that sells into the summer)
Resident Evil Mercenaries 3D
Crackdown 2
Dragon Quest IX
Fear 3
Max Payne 3, (mid may release that sells into the summer)
Same with Red Dead and La Noire
Infamous and Infamous 2
Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker
Metal Gear Solid 4

First off, summer for me is june-july. Maybe the first half of august.
Second, I guess our definitions do vary because the only top tier game you listed that came out during those times is MGS4. Everything else you listed is far from top tier, or in the case of Rockstar games had a typical pre-summer release during May.
And since I'm pretty sure MGS4 probably sold more units than the Last of Us, that only validates my point. Top tier games will sell. Whenever.

It sounds like ur definition is more for ur sake of argument. What make The last of Us a new IP!? top tier game compared to Infamous 1 and 2, Read Dead & L A Noire, Specs ops, max payne 3 not, all were high production AAA titles! so what make TLoU different from them?
