Hardcore gamers could see the favorite pastime dramatically changed given last year’s sales numbers. All of the top selling games in 2007 were multiplayer ones: Rock Band, Halo 3, Call of Duty 4, etc. Given than, the New York Times hints at a possible trend: why should publishers, and the developers that work for them, go to the trouble of creating 40+ hour single player adventures with top-of-the-line graphics and sounds and so forth if something like Mario Party 93 sells just as well?
Something to think about while you screw around in Azeroth today.
