US digital games market update: February 2014

US digital games market update: February 2014:
Lead-up to Titanfall release lowers February digital spending. With gamers anticipating the retail release of Titanfall (Electronic Arts) in early March, digital console spending on full titles dropped in February. Combined with lower spending on social games, the digital games market totaled $959 million in sales in February, showing a 5% decline month-over-month. We do, however, expect a bump in digital sales for next month based on Titanfall’s season pass and Digital Deluxe package (PC only). Despite this month’s drop, the total digital games market showed a 17% increase, year-over-year.
