I don't think release date is the major reason for most of these games. Releasing so many games in the last quarter of the year is not new to the industry. It hasn't affected the games last generation so why now?

To be honest with you, I think the video game industry exploded last gen. Now it is gradually shrinking and getting back to normal levels.

At the beginning of this website we were counting the number of million sellers and we're happy for the games that reach this mark. Now we're calling Rise of the Tomb Rider, a middle class game that will end up selling more than 5 million copies, a failure. That is because people are used to last gen numbers.

Of course we can't forget the ever increasing digital ratio.
