Analyst: Game Sales To Drop In Fall
According to Robert Higginbotham, one of the many analysts working for Goldman Sachs, a lack of quality titles in the second half of this year is going to see video game sales drop. Wiii Fit and GTAIV are the only ‘killer titles’ set to come out this year supposedly, which is likely to lead to a lack of sales for the industry. Apparently Fallout 3, Fable 2, LittleBigPlanet, Killzone 2, Metal Gear Solid 4, Gears of War 2, Halo Wars, The Force Unleashed and Resident Evil 5 are all going to fail to make a splash. Someone should let the folks at Goldman Sachs know that their analysts would be much more useful if they actually had an involvement in the video game world beyond reading news postings. One can’t help but wonder if these analysts are assuming those games are the only big ones this year just because there’s so much buzz going around them since they’re the next big things to come out.
