Gaming industry should desaturate Q4

[Bacon McShig]

Quadrupled, eh? Is that a fact?

Yeah, it most likely is. Assuming that they actually get the word out about the lower price and the game doesn't suck.

Actually, probably even if it does.

Celebrity Deathmatch and Evil Dead: Fistful of Boomstick moved copies better than BG&E. And they sucked. But they cost less upon release. Imagine if a company took a gamble on releasing a non-crap title at that $19.99 price point. I betcha it'd put up some great numbers.

I'd like to point out that in addition to the costs incurred by producing a single title, said title must also recoup the costs of failed titles. Sort of like the music industry. For every Eminem there's a D-12 (woof). The record label takes their profits from Em to subsidize all the bands that don't work. Just like how Gran Turismo (an established franchise that rakes it in) subsidizes a financially risky (but innovative) property like Ico.
