Okay so I was just looking at the north america charts and I couldn't help but notice a few things that I found very annoying/disturbing.

 first the fact that last week saw more new games released within that one week than several months had all throughout the month.  I find this to be very annoying and ridiculous because not only do I not have the money for all the games that I want to play but I also do not have enough time. I mean really would it have been so hard to release new software back in febuarury or march when the only decent title out was Devil may cry 4? or during the summer when the only decent games (for ps3 anyways) were Soul Caliber 4 and Metal Gear Solid 4? and now in this one week Little Big Planet, Motorstorm 2, Fallout 3, Guitar Hero World Tour ect have all been released.

I understand that many of these games might not have been finished back in february, but im sure they could have found some way to space these launches out by a few weeks or a month. Look at the launch line up for december for example, there are hardly any worthwhile new games coming out in december.

You can't tell me that It would have been so hard to wait until december 1st to launch motorstorm 2 when there wasn't so many other titles coming out.  It probaby would have sold more than the measly 50k it sold this week too.

anyways I want your honest opinions on this. Would you like to see release dates more spread out evenly across the year? do you beleive that luanching fifty million triple A games in one week is detrimental to the games over all sales due to more competition with other games launching in that week?

note: I only mention ps3 because that is the only current gen console I own and am not too familiar with the release dates of 360 and wii games, I assume though that they follow a similar patern to the ps3.

yea this does seem to be the most packed holliday season i can remember.
side note they did move killzone 2 back liked you asked, at least the didnt make k2, r2 out within 2 weeks of each other

The solution is to not buy every game that you're interested the first week it comes out. Buy them when you have the time and the money. There really isn't any difference from your perspective if Motorstorm is released in December or if it comes out in November and you buy it in December, is there?

I say, let the game come out when it's ready, and I'll buy it when I'm ready.

This.

I bought Metriod Prime 3 and No More Heroes about 1 month ago, there is no reason to buy every game under the sun on release, leave some till later when you have the money, you can probably get them cheaper then too, especially PS360 games as it seems most owners of those console have to buy games on release, which means they get reduced in price 2-3 months later.

So true. This month, of all months, I've bought Metroid Prime 3 and GTAIV. Why didn't I buy them earlier? I saw the first for £12 and the second for £22, and couldn't resist some impulse buying. The only recent games I think i'll get before xmas are Animal Crossing and Guitar Hero:WT. The first 6 months of 2009 will be awesome, I'll be able to buy a good game every two weeks from all the holiday leftovers .

~ 50% of the total software sales are in November + December. That means games sell ~ 6 times faster now than usual, meaning that there should be released ~ 6 times as many games pr week. Of course, that isn't an exact way to do it, as games sell less after the holiday season, and they don't sell it all in 2 months, but you get the picture.

And on the upside, you can get the other games in 6 months for half the price!
