Of course the numbers sucked. Name anything worth anything that came out in the past couple months. Summertime is always low. Then turns ridiculous because every publisher gets $$$ dancing in their heads dreaming of COD type numbers from kiddies and their friends.

That's how I see it.
I doubt this helped too much... I think 11 was solid, and good advertising created interest in 12.

I really don't think 50 OSers trading in the game impact sales too much... I don't think too many people traded in the game

In this economy, I'm not surprised. Gamers tend to be younger, so they may feel the pinch more than others.

I bet in a few months sales will increase when BF3, MW3, and Skyrim come out. And that solidifies another market trend.. sequels are cash cows.

I really wished they had a way to keep count on how many NCAA's get traded in and how soon because I am sure the number would be pretty insane.
