@LegatoSkyheart: right! It boggles my mind that there is anyone left who still has faith that a sonic game will be good.
from my experience in working at gamestop (yes i know i work for the darkside lol) nintendo gamers are really young kids mixed in with the occasional old school gamer so i can understand why those games would be more wanted. Hell, bayonetta didnt sell all that well despite being on the ps3/360

@SecretPolice: @papatrop: I don't think 5000 people reflect the entirety of the gaming population either, but it's interesting to see all those yearly retreads still selling bank. Do we just not crave anything new and fresh?
well not everyone has 20-30 years of gaming under their belt. There are a lot of kids /teens that only grew up with a ps3/360 or maybe the tail end of the ps2 era. remember how flooded the market was of 2d platformers / action platformers when we were kids.to them, these games are still fresh
Adults probably make up the majority of the market, but i think the factor is that these adults tastes and schedules have changed. A gamer that was 15 could handle playing 20-30 games in a year, could only be down to 10 in college and now as an adult can only finish 1 or 2 games per year. These guys might just buy or play the biggest and most popular game since their time and attention span has changed. I know a lot of my friends changed over time and now only play gta /cod /ac / madden games and thats it.
maybe thats why the yearly games are the most popular.
