Analyst on March: software sales up thanks to strong titles |
Ó
In a few days, the NPD Group is expected to release the video game industry's sales reports for the month of March. You know what that means? It means it's time once again for analysts to give their forecasts and predictions.This particular forecast comes from analyst Colin Sebastian of Lazard Capital Markets. In a nutshell, Sebastian forecasts sunny skies for the video game industry for the month March, and beyond (basically, the same thing he said for the month of February).
Thanks to successful releases such as Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Army of Two, and Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2, Sebastian believes that software sales will rise about 35%. This number is also helped along by catalog sales of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and Rock Band.
Sebastian also remarks that the current economic state in the US will not affect the video game industry. In fact, strong releases in the following months - like Grand Theft Auto 4, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, and Mario Kart - are expected to boost growth.

Crisis Core rocks! A definite must own for the PSP. With all the bonus missions as well as the story, this game seems pretty long. I have yet to make it to 20% of the bonus missions and am at roughly 17 hours played so far. I am addicted to this badass game!
im 2 chapters from the "end" at 52% thru missions (they are insane!!!) have all my bars unlocked and am lvl 57 and i have almost 30 hours, there is a ton of content, it feels al ot like an arcade version of monster hunter kind of nice
So is it true that Microsoft will again experience another "hardware shortage" in March as well?
I'm sure that will be their excuse if the loose to the PS3 again. Here's hoping!!! lmao
Microsoft is probably learning bad habits from Nintendo with faking shortages.
You can thank Nintendo for coming up with that great idea to boost sales.
