PC Game Sales Dropped In 2005

Posted by Zonk on from the sigh dept.

Gamasutra reports on the not-terribly-surprising news that PC game sales were down in 2005. From the article: "Also doing excellently was EA's The Sims 2 and its two associated expansions, and The Sims franchise collectively took up four of the top ten spots. The rest of the top ten is made up of a mixture of the mass-market accessible games, such as Roller Coaster Tycoon 3, with the more 'hardcore' shooter and MMO titles such as Guild Wars and Battlefield 2."

    There's an obsession lately with better graphics. What I'd rather see is an obsession with interesting gameplay.
