How did you cope with the summer drought? It actually allowed us to try things we wouldn’t have had time to. Some of these ideas will be implemented in Q3. Publishers should realise games do still sell in the summer months. When will they learn?
Sony cut the PS3’s price. Does Microsoft need to follow suit?
The 360 is competitively
priced at the moment. With some good bundles it will remain our No.1 console this year.
How well is Wii faring? Nintendo Wii is definitely struggling for us. Kinect and Move are eating into sales and the release schedule is looking bare.
How are you driving pre- orders for the major Q3/Q4 releases? Which
ones are performing well? COD, Battlefield andBatman are performing fantastically well. POS has been in place
for many titles over the summer. We’re also targeting customers via e- mail and Facebook.
