It's the economy, stupid! That, and the fact that the average release isn't worth £20 it's so generic. Assuming you even know it's been released...

I'm surprised it hasn't been blamed on piracy!

I’m still playing Skyrim, which I bought early December. That’s been the best £26 on games I’ve spent in years, and I’ve not been in a rush to buy another PPS3 game yet. I’ve bought a couple of £2.99 games on the iPad, but big games with big price tags (RRP of Skyrim is closer to £50 than £20) which engage the player for a long time may well make players feel that they have to get their money’s worth before moving on.
