Matrix Games Limits Retail and Expands Direct Sales

[Paul Vebber]

Less then 4% of EB sales in the US last year were PC games.

And imagine how many of those were 'Bargin bin" sales from which the original desinger and publisher saw pretty much ZILCH back from...

Less then 4% of EB sales in the US last year were PC games. Now that figure should really tell you something. The PC space in most of these type stores is down to one or two racks at best. I have over six stores in my area ( I live in NYC) and not one has more then two small areas of PC games. With that said we will be expanding our online sales services to directly service our customers.

It sucks but most newbies are console jockeys.

Not sure how much space is taken by console games compared to pc (I'm mostly blind to the console stuff), but there is still a good "wall and a half" of pc games at the couple of EB stores here in Montreal. Tell me, do these changes mean that even soon-to-be released games, like Battles in Normandy, won't show up at EB?
