But when you go to the dollars most of these games have actually done quite well. I have a series where I claim games have failed. The young guns are all heading off to Battlefield 3, Halo 3, and Modern Warfare 3 which have flashier graphics, different game mechanics and a more satisfying experience.Ī game can only get so old before you have to release something new, and WoW is there. Although it has retained a very large player base it hasn’t exactly grown. There are still more cash money tournaments for Counter-Strike than any other shooter in the world.īut it has definitely been phased out of popular media and is seeing far fewer people purchasing the game.
