2k just can't seem to produce a good baseball game anymore. They're getting less and less sales every year, and more and more people are buying The Show instead. Looking at the latest pre-order charts, 2k's baseball game doesn't even show up in the top 30 (meaning less than 19k preorders on either console, or a maximum of 30-35k combined at the moment) while The Show is at 50k already. I guess it's all a matter of time before 2k finally gives up... IGN just recently gave 2k10 a 7/10, and I'm expecting The Show 10 to get a 9/10. But that means Microsoft will have no baseball game anymore when 2k gives up... eh, maybe they'll be better by the time 2k11 comes, but by that time, The Show's popularity will have skyrocketed beyond reach.
Pity that Sony's basketball games suck.
