The Gaming Industry Should Have Some Love For Summer

The summer months are considered sort of a down time for the gaming industry, although gaming expo's like E3 go on during these months, no real big game releases come out during this time. Big game releases don't usually come out until November which is the busiest time for shoppers with the holidays only a month away so it makes sense that they are released during that time. However, there were so many big titles that came out last year around that time that some almost got lost among the crowd.

This brings me to my question; why not release big titles during the summer months? For starters, one of the gaming industry's biggest markets; the 16-22 range are currently out of school for the summer and no school means much more free time. Yes, many of these people have jobs but I think we'll all agree that you have much more freetime during the summer even if you have a job. I personaily play more games during the summer months than any other time during the year. Games could be released around the July 4th holiday which is probably the biggest time for shoppers. I'm not saying that companies should release the biggest game titles but definitely some of the more anticipated games. I always find I want to buy a game or two during the summer but the problem is there are never any really good titles coming out. So what do you think, do I make any sense with this opinion?
