More games released in 2009 than in 2008, barely

4.7
Some people have decried the current calendar year for being light on high-quality games -- but they can't frown upon the quantity of titles released in 2009. According to Gamespot, the latest EEDAR GamePulse report reveals that 1,099 games were released to retail outlets throughout the year -- a slight increase over the 1,092 games which hit the market in 2008.

That's not exactly good news -- according to the report, more games (such as Modern Warfare 2) are becoming permanent staples on store shelves, limiting the amount of free space for other new titles. Also, the amount of expendable cash folks have to spend on these games is dwindling. But ... but let's not think about that, okay? It's Christmas. Happy thoughts, you guys.

That`s not at all a good increase, they should really work on making more games so there is more of a choice for each type of game style!

2009 Has Been An Ok Year Think About it L4D2 (Left 4 Dead 2) Assasins Creed 2 and Obviously Modern Warefare 2 There were also hundreds of great titles But These were personally my favourite

Yeah 2010 will have way more sales than this year....But maybe because of AC 2,Mw2 and Borderlands it might not be..................Hoping they release a new CoD game like they have done annually. That would be good. Maybe a return of NZ ? lol
