US game sales drop 25% in October

NBA 2K13 was the top title, outselling last year's game by over 60% in both dollars and units, but it didn't help offset steep declines overall.

When is NPD going to realize their numbers don't matter as much anymore....and that the money is going digital even quicker than many believed?

Akuma-4184d ago

core gamers who are the life line of the video game industry wants a mass upgrade over existing hd console.

gamers want xbox 720 and ps4.

Knight_Crawler4184d ago (Edited 4184d ago )

Well said dude...7 years of the same hardware is considered dinosaur age in the tech world and games are starting to all feel the same with minimal improvement.

Its gotten so bad for me that I was not excited about HALO 4 and I am not excited about GTA 5 because I know that we wont see much improvement from the previous games.

If MS or Sony do not announce a next gen console E3 2013 I am giving up gaming and start a new hobbie.

@Sinner101GR:

Digital is no where near as important as physical media on consoles. Not yet and not for a long time.

LOGICWINS4184d ago

The issue is that gamers are becoming smarter and more prudent with their purchases(buying used, waiting for prices to drop, waiting for GOTY editions, holding out for Black Friday/Cyber Monday, only spending $60 on titles that offer a tremendous amount of value such as Halo 4)

donniebaseball4184d ago

NPD needs to get its shit together and start releasing monthly or even weekly digital reports.

NYC_Gamer4184d ago

I think sales will continue to drag because many gamers aren't excited anymore

aviator1894184d ago (Edited 4184d ago )

I'm sure November will be a bit better.

nukeitall4184d ago

I think Halo 4 should boost the numbers a little, but there is an overly abundance of games. I don't bother buying new games now (except for Halo 4), cause I can't finish my old ones. I have a fat backlog, majority whom will never be played.

LOGICWINS4184d ago

If your never gunna play them, then can I have em? :D

StrawHatPatriot4184d ago

Because of the saturation of the market

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5068d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905068d ago (Edited 5068d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5068d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5068d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495068d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5068d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5068d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
