[casual_games] The "Churn Rate" of the top 10 lists isreallystarting to increase

Hopefully the growth in the market size helps fill some of that gap.  A game
that is a top 10 seller for 3 weeks in 2006 is probably generating a lot
more revenue that a game that stayed in the top 10 for for the same amount
of time in 2004.

This research confirms my overall impression that titles are churning at a
much higher rate than ever before. So with production costs supposedly
rising and more time/effort being put into polishing a game -- what does
that say about diminishing returns on investment?
