It’s obvious that video-games sales this year haven’t measured up to those of last year. Why? The NY Times answers: “of the 10 top-selling games of 2005 through November, only 3 were released in 2005. The other 7 all date from 2004 or earlier. In other words: the industry failed to create a single breakout hit this year.” That’s gotta hurt! And to make things worse, “The only games released this year to make the Top 10 list through last month have been the new Madden football game and Gran Turismo 4 for PlayStation 2 and Pokemon Emerald for the Game Boy Advance.”
