Transition years usually are tough on the video game industry. When last-generation machines lose their luster and the installed base of next-gen consoles slowly ramps up, game sales suffer.

Apparently, people are still buying hundreds of thousands of PS2 games each month and spending a lot of time with the Nintendo DS handheld. Who needs a next-gen console when the last one is doing just fine?
