Monthly Software ASP growth:

Sony Consoles: -8.1% YOY

Microsoft Consoles: -10.7% YOY

Nintendo Consoles: -12.8% YOY

Industry: -11.7% YOY

....Takeaway: Games are getting sold at cheaper prices lately

 

Hmm. That's interesting. And I don't suppose it's due to last gen. 

Is this about catalog titles (even recent releases) receiving price drops fairly quickly? I doubt new release ASP has declined?

Thanks for this. I imagine Bethesda slid down the ranks this month to be closer to where Sony are? 

Any reason why Nintendo are holding up so strong? I'm guessing due to the impressive number of back-catalog titles on sale and less about Kirby/other new releases.

 

(Adding to OP now) On a different note, what did I miss about Destiny last month for it to sell well?
