Maybe it is the industry in general. Maybe it is his poor recent showings. Maybe it is the whole sex fiend thing. Whatever the reason, EA’s Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 has seen a huge drop in sales compared to last year’s game- right around a one-third drop off.

According to the NY Times, the NPD Group’s recently released June sales numbers show a 32-percent drop in the 2011 game compared to the 2010 version.

According to EA, there are “a lot of factors” that contributed to the decline, including the slowing of Wii sales. Last year’s copy of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 was packaged as a bundle with the Wii, which helped elevate its sales. Or it could be the sex fiend thing.

Gaming against AI could make you more confident with real teammates

Turns out getting beaten by bots wasn't the worst thing after all

Artificial intelligence is often blamed for making people less social. Whether it's AI replacing conversations, reducing teamwork, or making gaming feel less human, the narrative has largely remained the same. But a new study suggests the opposite could also be true. In fact, AI might be quietly encouraging people to spend more time with their friends.

Researchers studying PUBG: Battlegrounds have found that introducing AI-controlled opponents into multiplayer matches didn't isolate players. Instead, it made them more confident, kept them playing longer, and even encouraged them to squad up with friends more often. The findings, which will appear in the journal Information Systems Research, offer an interesting perspective on how AI can improve user experiences rather than simply automating them.
