Ahead of data from research firm NPD Group, games analysts are forecasting year-on-year double-digit declines for the month of May, as last year's Grand Theft Auto IV and Wii Fit make for a tough comparison.
Jesse Divnich with Electronic Entertainment Design and Research (EEDAR) said in a Monday note that he expects software sales to reach $457 million for the month, a 15 percent decrease from a year ago.
He wrote, "The lack of a sales increase was primarily driven by the next-generation home and portable software titles. Unit sales are likely to decrease by 5 percent over last year with a 10 percent decrease in the average selling price (ASP). EEDAR believes the weak retail environment is to blame for the year-over-year decrease in ASPs."
Wedbush and EEDAR expect the following for console sales during May:
(Platform, Wedbush Forecast, EEDAR Forecast):
Wii: 300K, 340K
PS3: 100K, 120K
360: 140K, 150K
PS2: 130K, 111K
PSP: 90K, 100K
DS: 440K, 430K
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Space opera fans deserve a chance to experience the vastness of Infinite Space, and Sega needs to make up for its mistake.
I still go back to Infinite Space from time to time. Probably the most underrated game I ever played.
Video games are no longer just a simple past time. Today's games are evolving into true works of art. Offering intriguing narratives, cinematic setpieces, and profound messages, games can entertain us for hundreds of hours.
I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now
I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.
the first one is abit the odd one out but after u finished it, believe it it gets tremendously better and better
