Because April 2009 had relatively light sales (and thus, an easy comparable) industry insiders and investors were hoping to at least tow the line.
It was the industry?s fourth worst year-over-year decline?and it puts overall sales 11 percent behind last year?s sluggish pace."
Of course pirating has nothing to do with the continuing decline in game sales, its just the recession folks  |
Sure, videogame piracy was only invented in January this year. That explains it.
And that totally negates the cinema and music revenue increases.
Meh, whatever.
If you all want to waste your time whining about tubes being the death of the industry, cool. I'm gonna use the time I would have wasted arguing more on this thread to set up a few blogs, do some twitter work, get a few nice soft slideshows up on some youtube channels and, well, you know, do some marketing instead of moaning like a girl about something you can do nothing about.
Do let me know in a week how many sales this thread gets you all.
