Doorbusters and Videogames — Aint Capitalism Grand?

As to whether this holiday shopping season will salvage the videogame sales slump will be determined in a month or so but for now retailers are certainly doing their part to make it happen.

Modern Warfare 2: Bringing Balance to the Force?

So does this mean we can expect Assassin’s Creed 2 and Left for Dead 2 to bring it home and close out the year with some killer sales? Not exactly. They unlike Mw2 did not have the massive hype machine driving their promotion. Sure, the originals were big hits but will they have the massive launch day that MW2 had. Not likely. What this does prove is that if anyone still has doubts that videogames isn’t a viable industry then this past week should change your mind.
