What have been your most recent best-sellers? Max Payne 3, Lollipop Chainsawand LEGO Batman 2are all doing good. Actually our trade-ins are popular and second-hand games are selling well.


What’s the biggest challenge your store is facing?


I believe there’s an


awareness problem of what we offer in our area. We’re a ‘jack of all trades’ store


and offer other items such as merchandise, trading cards and DVDs.


What excited you the most from E3 this year? I was very impressed with the Sony conference with their upcoming releases The Last of Usas well as Beyond: Two Souls. The latest Need for Speedalso impressed me, but other than that there was a lack of innovation from the companies showcasing.


Has there been much interest in the Wii U? There’s not been a great interest but we’ve had people enquire. I think they’re more curious than


specifically interested in purchasing. The public here are more concerned with everything current


generation, specifically PS3 and Xbox 360.
