Tencent Game News March 8 local time, the famous game website GameSpot published an investment analysis company Wedbush Market Research Report, the report said the U.S. game retail market should be in the first half of 2010 out of the recession, but as of February, the market sales are not satisfactory.

But sales have started to rise in recent months, and analysts say "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" is the biggest contributor to the recent sales, as well as EA's "quality Effect 2", "Dante's Hell", Nintendo's "New Super Mario", Take-two's "Biochemical surprise 2" have a good performance in the sales rankings.  In Game host sales, Nintendo's Wii is still ahead, more than X360 almost half of the results, and PS3 in the three main hosts ranked last. Market confidence is now focused on several other games to be sold in recent months, Sony's "Ares 3", SE's "Final Fantasy 13", Nintendo's "Super Mario Galaxy 2", "Galactic Warrior M", and the Activision issue of StarCraft 2.

With the development of technology, more powerful game host, the more dazzling game screen, the larger game capacity seems to have become the inevitable trend of developers research and development, however, it seems that the more mature technology, players are more picky, from the advent of the Wii, gamers from the core players to the transition of the era has come, unique style, Easy to operate games are more and more favored by most players, in contrast, the survival of large games increasingly narrow, technical progress is hardware, but the game brings people's spiritual enjoyment is the necessary software support, how to do the two aspects at the same time, is the major game developers need to seriously consider the subject.
