Video Game Sales Plummet; Is Nintendo’s Wii U the most effective?

It’s either the top or worst time for you to to produce new computer game console. With September 2012 video game sales slipping 24 percent coming from a last year, it implies people are either starving for just a new experience or simply don’t develop the cash to waste on gaming.

Based on industry research firm NPD Group, sales of game discs, systems, and accessories slipped to only under $850 million last month, a small amount of 24 per-cent in the $1.1 billion it game industry took in over the same period in 2011.

Hardware sales suffered the greatest hit, down 39 percent to $211 million. Software sales weren’t quite so bad, although the 18 per cent drop to roughly $500 million (from over $600 million not too long ago) will definitely certainly be a concerning statistic for major game publishers and developers.

Unsurprisingly, Electronic Arts’ Madden NFL 13 topped the action sales chart, with Borderlands 2 and FIFA Soccer 13 rounding out your top three.

With the twenty-first month consecutively, Microsoft’s Xbox 360 system led in hardware sales. About 270,000 units sold last month, representing 49 % of console sales.

It’s possible Microsoft’s domination in this sector could change in November, once Nintendo releases its fresh Wii U console. Adding high-definition graphics as well as a very distinct gamepad designed with a 6.2-inch LCD screen, the console will sell for roughly $300 (or over). A $350 Deluxe Set package will include the basics plus additional hard disk space, a charging dock, along with a copy with the game Nintendo Land.

NPD analyst Liam Callahan says he believes the Wii U “contains the potential to reinvigorate retail sales of hardware.”

But I doubt it. Being a long-time gamer I could’t honestly recall a hardware launch so unanticipated as that surrounding the Wii U. Few of the gamers I know will be in any way interested, with many people looking forward to releases of a new Xbox or PlayStation in 2013 or 2014.

What can you guys think?
