We're still slumping says top analysts, well, no shit

According to the NPD Group, video game sales have dropped 10 percent in the month of May due to a still shakey market of consumers waiting for next-gen products and games.

A few titles bumped sales in the industry, like Oblivion for the XBOX 360, but those boosts are short lived as people continue to hold out for key titles this fall as well as the launches of both the Wii and the PS3.

I think it's funny that market analysts bother doing these tests, I mean, all of us developers know that we're in a slump, there's a slump in ever transition year. Once all the new systems are released things pop right back to normal, it happens everytime.
