Video game sales are down 13% this month. Console sales decreasing makes sense since we’re a few years into the consoles’ life times. Usually around this time, we would hear about new consoles getting announced at the upcoming E3 convention. But because of how these new systems are developed with heavy online support and new projects like 360’s Natal and PS3’s new motion controls, these consoles still have life in them yet. Analyst expected the video game sales to drop. Big name titles in the next month like God of War 3 should boost overall sales.
