Simple economics: a product has less value if its supply has been oversaturated. Sure there are plenty of games that release yearly and make a lot of money, but large amount of people simply don’t care, if you can’t afford to buy many games every year or if you don’t have time to play many games every year – you will chose to play something special. When new GTA inevitebly releases it will be special, and many more people will buy it than there are people buying yearly release of CoD or Assassin’s Creed.
