If more people are waiting, could that be as a response to the higher release prices in recent years?
Perhaps the publishers are happy to sell fewer units on release, since they'll make more from the price increase from those who do buy.
It's hard to work out without access to proper sales figures, but I wince at release prices on Steam these days. I'm pretty much priced out of the hobby these days, as a buyer of new games, compared to 6 or 7 years ago - where I could order a physical copy of almost all new releases at £24-27. My only option is to wait these days.
