Since the launchings of both the God of War and Resident Evil IV video games on the first quarter of 2005, the priorities of the games industry are shifted. Instead of releasing a single video game during the last quarter of the year, AAA titles are coming out for gamers not only during the first quarter but the entire months of the year due to the success of the two aforementioned video games.
If you look at video games releases this 2012, you will notice that the year featured several great games during the first quarter such as Final Fantasy 13-2, Street Fighter x Tekken, Mass Effect III and SSX. But when you see the games to be released during 2013’s first quarter, those released during the first three months of 2012 will be put to shame.
