SSX has barely been out a month and it’s already been halved in price. Amazon (Xbox 360 – PS3) and Best Buy have already dropped the game to $30.
It’s a fantastic deal for a very good game but does not bode well for the future of the series. SSX has undoubtedly failed to gain traction at retail and follows in what has become a long line of arcade-style titles that have struggled to justify their development this generation. It’s hard to imagine a scenario in which a sequel comes about now unless the scale of the offering were to be pared down significantly for the purpose of digital distribution.
