People are just fatigued on this generation of consoles. Next gen is what's needed to infuse excitement into console purchases again. Price drops and new bundles probably won't cut it anymore.
Vita doing poorly is expected. I'm just glad Sony was crazy/blind enough to pump so much power into a portable console, one last time. It was the best eulogy to portable console gaming that one could give.
Max Payne 3 selling under expectations is not surprising if you look at the first two. People just expected more because of
dat Rockstar touch, but the series it of itself was never that big to begin with. (But at least it did better than Alan Wake
Remedy)
Dragon's Dogma doing less than 100K is the greatest tragedy of this month's NPD, imo. It's a great game, and did so well in Japan that I was ever so hopeful... And in comparison to how well ORC did, it's only going to reinforce the message to Capcom that no one wants to give them: please continue to rehash good-selling franchises instead of attempting to ever make new ones.
