Sell Physical Copies Directly to Consumers
Cordova, TN; April 13, in the year of our Lord 2015--Family
Friendly Gaming, the industry leader in covering the family
friendly video games is addressing an important issue within the
video game industry. Too many video game companies are missing
out on revenue. They are denying themselves sales. They are
leaving money on the table. They are missing out on profits.
What am I talking about? I am talking about video game companies
selling directly to the consumers. Many of us have seen the pie
chart that shows the chunk retail stores get from each video
game sale. Why not bypass that chunk, and pass the savings along
to the consumers? Plus retail chains stop carrying certain
products when sales do not match their expectations.
Here is the thing about lower than expected sales. There are
still sales. Consumers will still purchase the games. The lower
the price, the better shot these companies have at increasing
their sales. Once the retail chains stop carrying a video game
is the perfect time for these video game companies to sell the
games themselves. Besides they will most likely have inventory
that they need to offload anyways. Sell it yourself for a fair
price, and you will get something for the inventory you
currently own. Once a game sells out these companies can look at
how many sell per month, and have more made - according to the
demand. That way they are not out much money in this entire
process. This is a win-win scenario for the video game companies
and the consumers.
There are existing video game companies that are following the
advice of Family Friendly Gaming on this particular issue.
Natsume is a fine example. Consumers can purchase games from
their catalog. A few of the prices are too high on their online
store. Many of them are reasonable in my opinion. Natsume is
showing the rest of the video game industry that profits can be
made off of their older games. Consumers love physical copies of
games. Consumers love getting a deal. Consumers love going
directly to the source and paying less money. How many more
video game companies will follow Natsume in offering physical
copies of games to consumers directly?
There are so many different ways video game companies could
fulfill this consumer request. They could start their own online
store on their own websites. They could start their own account
on Amazon and sell through them. There is eBay and plenty of
other websites that will happily let you sell your products if
you do not want to spend the money on making your own online
store. Too many video game companies are leaving money sitting
on the table. They should look at used prices for their video
games and realize they could make money off of selling more of
their own games. Sell them directly to the consumers. This is a
way for companies losing money to make some of it back.
