you also have to consider all the AAA titles that came out this year so far where released erlier on in the year, the list includes mass effect 2, forza 3 bioshock 2, and final fantasy 13. since they have released there hasnt been anything out big yet, alan wake was kind of big but it took so long to develop i think alot of people forgot about it, i remember not exacly when but when it did release i was like wow really allready funny i didnt hear anything about it. the only upcoming tittles that should helps sales in this season is star craft 2.
