14 DAY TRIAL // Gamestop, the specialist video game retailer, has revealed that pre-order numbers for all the big titles launched during the third and the fourth quarter of this year have increased when compared to the same period in 2011.
Tony Bartel, who is the president of Gamestop, has stated, “We have a very robust reservation program. For all of the major titles releasing in Q3 and Q4, reservations are up on every single one of them, and on many of the major titles we’re actually seeing double-digit increases in reservations, which bodes well for the growth of those titles.”
A recent study has cited the aggressive pre-order program at Gamestop as one of the reasons why the company has made the top ten of the worst companies to work for.
The fact that the pre-order figures from Gamestop are higher than during 2010 is good news for a gaming industry that has seen a big decline during the first six months of 2012.
