I'm still kind of puzzled as to why so many publishers decide to wedge their games in during the holidays when the summer often offers little competition. It's not like people stop playing games just because it's hot.

In fact, when I ran a rental store, the middle of the summer was pretty good for business. Spring was completely dead but once it really started getting hot, people would stay inside more and more. I know that logic doesn't apply everywhere but I think TLoU and Animal Crossing both prove that people haven't discarded their consoles.
