According to industry analysts the games industry has suffered yet another disapointing month with sales down 24% from this time last year. Remember though, last October did see the release of the wildly popular GTA: San Andreas. One analyst attributes the slowdown to "weakness across the board, reflecting that consumers are waiting for 'big' holiday releases." Coupled with other ugly news for the industry, how do some companies seem to rise above it all? Sony was bolstered by sales of its consoles, while Sega's new partnership with Sammy increased their profits. That being said, one analyst is still confident this "year [will] finish as a record-breaking one for the industry."
Until then, is everyone really just waiting for all the great and shiny new things coming out this holiday season?! That's now people! Go buy stuff. That is all.
