With 2008 quickly coming to a close, Lazard Capital Markets analyst Colin Sebastian issued a "Holiday Sales Wrap-up" note, stating that video game sales overall have "remained stable" midway through December. That said, the tide has not been lifting all boats, so to speak. "...consumer demand continues to be uneven, concentrated among Nintendo products (Wii and DS), Xbox 360 hardware bundles, and a limited number of core software titles (e.g., Call of Duty and Gears of War 2) amid a congested slate of high-quality releases," Sebastian said.
