Halo4 and the new CoD are the really big ones and nobody would care about the small fishes like Tr and Hitman at all.

The big games usually came out before Tomb Raider till AOD and Legend and Tomb Raider usually comes out in November so where is the risk? A couple of weeks after a purchase hardcore gamers are usually looking for something new to play, and especially as a Christmas purchase a game closer to Christmas has more chance. Hitman will not lose that many sales to CoD, it would probably lose hardly any to Halo 4 which is only on the Xbox 360 and a few weeks before Hitman is released. Hitman is hardly some brainless shooter/wartime romp, someone more interested in suspense, thinking and stealth will buy Hitman. Despite the fact most of the big name shooters with online modes get a bigger slice of the gaming market, not everyone is interested in playing that type of game. So the little fish turn out to be a different type of shooter or completely different type of game they can still get good opening sales if they are good enough.. |
