Same-month sales in videogames is a useless statistic. If there’s a new WoW expansion, new Call of Duty, new Valve shooter title, new SSB, new Halo, etc. titles released in one month, its obvious the next year same month will be down, probably 50-80%.
Precisely. And what was released on June 12, 2008? Metal Gear Solid 4.
凡事必有解释，但解释未必都是经济萧条。最近没啥游戏大作，又有不少是不被统计的Steam/Xbox Live类电子下载，零售额比去年下降30%的确很正常。via slashdot, image via pixiv
