It seems Tiburon is still celebrating, too.

Like others mentioned above nothing in July that was released was any good other than NCAA so what do they expect. I could see if there was some big titles released and they bombed but nothing worth noting came out. Later this year you got Madden 12, FIFA 12, BF3, Modern Warfare 3 that should all hit big numbers.

Re: US Video Game Sales Plummet -- NCAA Strongest Game in July

I do not think this is a showing of "how good NCAA is", but rather how weak game developing has become. It just seems as though there are way too many fantasy/sci-fi type of games out there (Alpha protocol, and I know some people like them and that is great I have nothing against those people, but why do we only see one or two good realistic type of games? Far Cry used to be fun, haven't seen a new one of those in a long time, GTA only comes out once every 4 to 5 years although RRD helped with the waiting of a new GTA. I see the the upcoming games and all I seem to be excited about are the sports titles because I am a sports fanatic, and then Battlefield 3 and that is pretty much it so far. Maybe it is just because I am a not a teen ager anymore, but a lot of the games just do not appeal to me much anymore.

This.

NCAA got sales due to the casual football gamer not knowing if the NFL would be here this year. NCAA garnered some of Maddens numbers due to all of the lockout talk for the past 'forever' now.

Sure 'we' knew that Madden was still releasing later, but for Joe Blow 6 year old, they may not have and they wanted a football game and they purchased NCAA.

That's how I see it.

To bad the top selling game was also the buggiest game out there. My copy has already been traded in.

I think for every poor month like this you have a month like March where it felt everything in the world (sports wise) was released. I can't remember any new games from April-NCAA 12 that I picked up.
