“Last Christmas was a veritable bloodbath at retail, with far too many triple-A rated titles competing for consumer cash. Retail prices were trashed to a level that made a mockery of the development costs. This year the recession will mean there will no doubt be less money available, as this industry does not exist in a vacuum as we like to sometimes believe. So publishers and retailers will generate greater value with post-Xmas launches. The only real losers are consumers who will not benefit as much from cheapened product. It also makes the market less seasonal, which can only be positive.” - Bethesda MD Sean Brennan

That is just one excerpt, but several other companies discuss the matter as well. I wonder which titles failed last Christmas season.

Yeah, people should really buy more games.

This seems like good news for Nintendo, who put a lot into the latter half of this year.

Oh wow. That's brutal honesty from Bethesda.

What should they cut down on to pay for them, food? Paying off their debts? Save less? I guess you live in a world outside of recessions.
