July 02, 2010 in Blog comments 2

The NPD sales results for North American was disappointing overall but some games in particular did not fare well. Examiner takes a look at the five most disappointing games from May.

NPD delayed their North American video game sales results for a couple of weeks while they upgraded their systems. When they finally did release them last night, it was to general disappointment as the games industry saw a drop in sales by 5% compared to May of 2009 and so far is down 10% for the year so far compared to January. Outside of Red Dead Redemption for the PS3 and Xbox 360, no publisher or console had much to crow about for the month of May. However, these five games were particularly disappointing in their sales results

    Not totally unexpected, we're kind of in the middle of no-man's land atm in terms of when people tend to buy games. So you really had to be a stand-out to sell (aka Red Dead Redemption).

    Suprised SMG2 isn't selling as well as planned, it does have Mario in the name afterall and that's all it takes usually.

    Not suprised at Alan Wake not selling well.

    Kinda disapointed about Modnation Racer, that game really deserves more sales.
