Hoping for Holiday Sales • Cuts in game console prices • Xbox 360 went from $279 to $199 • Increased supplies • Supplies of Wii consoles are up by 50% from last year’s holiday season • More product capabilities • Online features from Microsoft and Sony- such as movie downloading • “Everyman”games • Diverse games with more creative themes to appeal to a broader audience
Outside the Box • A New Genre of Games • LittleBigPlanet • Spore
Music • Guitar Hero World Tour • Rock Band 2 • Wii Music
Sports and Racing • Shaun White Snowboarding • Need For Speed Undercover • Midnight Club: Los Angeles
Action • Gears Of War 2 • Mirror’s Edge • Left 4 Dead • Resistance 2 • Fallout 3
Conclusion • Despite all of its efforts, the videogame industry still has to face the bad economy. • Total sales of videogame software and hardware are expected to rise 22% this year (as opposed to 43% from last year) • Sales are still increasing because compared to other holiday gifts, $50-$60 is fairly cheap for good entertainment for the whole family.
