Top 20 Games Analysis

from the top 20 list of games at the moment i can see that it is the typical games such as Fifa and WWE are at the top, this is expected from games such as these, as they are released every year and have a huge audience that are expecting what the game will be like and as they are already fans they will want to buy it.  games such asFifa are alsofirst party games   which means it is directly owned by the developer, this may make it more popular as it is available to more people as it has the potential to be published on all consoles. 

Also from this chart i can see that new IP such as dishonoured are not as popular as it is 10th in the chart, this may be because people do not know what this game is like so people may refrain from buying it as it may be a waste of money. Where as established franchise such as EA are expected to be good so they will be more popular.all of the top games apart from dishonoured are established franchises this therefore showing that established franchises are more likely to sell, but new IPs that get through have the potential to be successful as dishonoured is 10th which shows that it is still quite popular.

From the list there is  a PC game football manager that has come third this is showing that sport games are popular on console a PC. Also games that are published by Activision are games aimed at children, this therefore showing that in today's market games for children are becoming more popular.
from the chart you can also see that FIFA 13 is still available on the playstation 2, this is because of countries such as brazil which is a bit behind  in the gaming world. This is showing that EA are generating a larger audience as they are still appealing to the people who have not caught up to the more modern consoles.
