3 Reasons Why Video Game Industry Will Turn Around This Summer

Come summer, the movies blockbusters and music tours would peak the entertainment carts. The video game industry might loose its charm in summer.  At least this is what Wedbush Morgan Securities analyst Michael Pachter apprehends. Well, things doesn’t seem heading the same way for the fans of Nintendo Wii touching a trifecta this week.  Normally the video game sales inflates in the last quater of the year. However, the big titles can survive at any time of the year.  With potential hits like Atari’s Ghostbusters: The Video Game(june 16) and Activision’s Guitar Hero Smash Hits (June 16) to make the market, there can be few reasons for the video game market to go for a slog. There are some good reasons to expect the video game market stay cool this summer.
