Anyone concerned in terms of sales that there are just too many games this holiday which may decrease sales overall for all the games. I mean we have the established franchises that should do well just based on fan following but there are a lot of new IP’s this holiday that may suffer because of this. New IP’s would need to get very good reviews in order to even compete (skate comes to mind) and that’s not always a guarantee.
Currently I am only getting Mass Effect but if I was able to get another game or two I would probably buy guitar hero 3 and possibly cod 4. I really enjoyed the beta along with my friends (I was able to get them in the beta with the exploit hehe). I wish I had more money but that is all I can really afford. In terms of my most recent purchase it was Halo 3 though I hadn’t bought anything before then for a while though I do have gamefly which saves me a ton. It has allowed me to play and beat games like Bioshock, Stranglehold, Blue Dragon among others I didn’t beat but just tried.
Basically my question is do you think there are too many games coming out this holiday that may lead to lower sales overall across all the games and how many games do you foresee buying this holiday starting this month October?
By the way this is even tougher for people with multiple systems as my cousin who has all three is having a hard time figuring out which games to get. I mean he has money but there are just alot of games available.
