Business has been mixed with the new releases now selling slower than ever before but our console repair service has become much busier. We’re also doing well with our arcade cabinet DIY kits.
What have been the biggest sellers? Ghost Recon: Future Soldierand Max Payne 3 have been selling very well.
Microsoft points continue to be a firm favourite and have been doing well.
How do you challenge the competition in the area? We are able to offer a complete gaming range and service as we stock consoles, accessories, retro, DIY kits and pre- owned games. We also do console and disc repairs and hold tournaments in- store which supermarkets can’t compete with.
What are you doing to counter the summer lull? We are doing new release deals to entice customers in and will offer 20 per cent off all our pre-owned games.
What games are you most looking forward to? Call of Duty: Black Ops II, Assassins Creed 3, Fifa 13, and Halo 4. Contact: 01895 422322
