Lego Batman 2 tops dismal June sales

Hey look, up in the sky, it's Fatman to the rescue...oh wait, I think the Fatmobile just broke a wheel and Joker got away.

I am very confused, folks. Why isn't Lollipop Chainsaw on the sales list for June, despite how big of a fanbase it is drawing?

Well if there are 34% fewer titles in June year over year, you would think people would be spending more money on the fewer titles available. However, they are not, and this only furthers the theory that gamers are bored with this generation. Bring on the new consoles!

Diablo 3, third place?  That's very good, considering it's only the retail version.  The digital version probably sells even more than the retail version!  Lol at the trolls claiming that Diablo 3 is a flop, or that Diablo 3 is dead

I'll get Lego Batman 2 when the platinum hits version is released for $20 with all the DLC that they stripped from the game. I can't believe Lego games are doing the DLC crap thing to. 

lego will keep going strong with lord of the rings coming out later in the year anyone whos played them knows they are as fun for adults as kids

I love how these people act all upset because of low sales. That's kind of what happens when not many games worth buying come out around the same time or month. And the fact that so many people are unemployed and scraping by in this country. Hey, maybe it you fired the governments and actually got people in there that could do their jobs without bickering as 10 yr olds more people might be able to afford buying games. Heh? And, maybe if gestapo corporations like EA and Activision weren't allowed to nickle and dime or flat out rip consumers off then more people could afford to buy more games. heh? Yes.

PC Games migrate to Digital Distribution,,

exploding used-sales on Consoles,,

and yeah, Retail really fucked up,,

This is no surprise to me, it seems like all the Lego games sell pretty well, even in the demise of game sales.....probably all the spoiled little kids that there parents get them everything they want....lol

Summer time is always a rough time for video games.  A lot of people are on vacations and do so many outdoor activities that you don't get as many people seeking out games.

maybe if they lowered the prices of games, I would buy more.  or buy the newest version of a franchise.  

I bet used sales are exploding.

I'm thinking sales like this will continue until next-gen. It's simply too intimidating to want to make a new IP now with consoles so precariously placed. Why make something new and risky now when the console might be replaced in just one more year?

This has led to serious IP stagnation and frankly, I'm getting so sick of sequels. Dragon's Dogma has been a great breath of fresh air this year because it was DIFFERENT.

Two probable reasons: 1. No AAA titles being released at the moment. 2. Gamers are now playing through their backlog of good games we were deluged with this past year.

Amazing Spiderman debuts at no.10?! Lmao

Release virtually nothing; see virtually no sales...just like every summer.

Walmart had both of them together for $50, I was pretty tempted...

And then November will come around with all the popular first-person shooters, making it the most successful month of the year. Just like every year (well, besides from December).

18-0 Wining

LEGO FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Battlefield 3 FTW!!!

This is just sad, lol.

I wrote a little blog peice about this last year maybe? Idk.  But its the same every year.  Holliday season big boom.... One or two AAA games feb-march.  Nothing from April-Sept. It really makes me mad that they say 'profits are down'.  They may be down but companies are still MAKING money.  Just not enough for some people I guess.  Drop another Dev and delete ingenuity 

Seems like anytime I see something about game sales and the like, it always use words like declining, dismal, going down,  or bad. I don't need news that tell me that game sales are declining for the 7th month in a row.

And so video gaming dies a little more

Really?  How were people not more interested in Spec Ops The Line, such an underrated game.

Do we really need these stories month after month? anyone with half a brain can figure this out on their own. No AAA games come out, no sales. Seems simple enough to me. Keep up the negative press Gamespot.

Not surprising. I want to like those Lego games, but they just make them far too short and easy. I know they're for kids and all that, but they could make them a little bit challenging. I never buy them until they get down to about $20 and even then I don't really think they're worth that much.

Shouldn't Diablo 3 be #1 again?  Oh wait... DRM, connection issues, less capabilities than D2, etc....  How'd it make #3 again?

wow never thought a lego game would be on top of the rest of the games a month... guess anythings possible!:)
