Guild Wars 2 Probably Coming to Consoles

Posted Feb 15, 2012 at 12:09PM EST by Listed in: MMORPG Tags: console mmos, Guild Wars 2, NCsoft

Because that’s what people want – console MMOs.

Guild Wars 2 is creeping steadily across the horizon, ready to pounce on the F2P MMO crowd at nearly any moment. And while there’s no official release date available for the game, that doesn’t mean NCsoft doesn’t have anything interesting to reveal.

In a conference call early this morning, Guild Wars 2 developers discussed a rough timeframe for the game’s beta and, yes, the possibility of a console port. Before you get too excited, it’s worth noting that the studio merely confirmed there is some sort of Guild Wars 2-related console development taking place – it’s far from a guarantee.

Here’s the exact quote, which you are free to interpret however you want:

“When it comes to Guild Wars 2 [on consoles] as we have announced already, we are in the preparation stage. For other titles we are looking at various options as we speak. So once again, nothing has been finalized yet for me to make specific comments now.”

So there you have it. They’re in the preparation stages, which means the game may or not make it to consoles. If you’re curious about that beta, the studio confirmed that large scale testing will occur in March and April. NCsoft will use the test results and seasonal market trends to determine the final launch schedule.

Are you excited to see Guild Wars 2 finally making forward progress? And what do you think of console MMOs?

NPD to Start Analyzing Walmart Sales

Posted Feb 3, 2012 at 5:04PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: game sales, NPD Group, target, Wal-Mart

The retail analysis company adds Wal-Mart’s data to its information coffers, which will help it to provide more accurate sales reports.

Have you ever heard of the NPD Group? If not, here’s a quick primer: The NPD Group is an analysis company that interprets data from over 900 different retailers and uses that information to create reports outlining the sales of games. With over 150,000 locations reporting in, the NPD Group usually has a pretty good idea of what people are buying.

With one huge exception – until now, the NPD Group did not analyze sales information from the megastore, Wal-Mart. And as much as hardcore gamers would like to say otherwise, Wal-Mart makes up a huge portion of the retail games market – 25-30 percent, in fact. With Wal-Mart’s data on tap, the NPD Group can now capture an estimated 80 percent of all domestic game sales, and thus provide much more accurate sale information.

Here’s why I think this is so interesting – Wal-Mart game sales are notorious for leaning towards the casual side of gaming. People that aren’t “gamers” don’t go to game stores; they go to Wal-Mart or another huge megastore. And the information provided by Wal-Mart could just show some unexpected trends in the industry.

We’ll have to wait for the next NPD report to see if Wal-Mart’s numbers present any surprises, but at the very minimum, the analyses can be relied upon to be more accurate than ever.

Where do you buy your games? I’m fond of Target myself; no one tries to get me to subscribe to magazines there.

GameStop iOS Trade-Ins Exceeding Expectations

Posted Dec 30, 2011 at 4:35PM EST by Listed in: iPad Tags: GameStop, ios, ipad, iphone, ipod

The retailer’s fledgling iPhone/iPad/iPod trade-in market is apparently flourishing.

Earlier in the year, GameStop announced that it would begin taking trade-ins of iOS devices like iPods and iPads. The initial response was mixed, as it was hard to determine whether device owners would actually bring their hard-won devices into GameStop to trade for systems or games, especially given he company’s reputation for sticking it to trade-in customers.

According to GameStop, however, there’s no room for debate – the program has been a massive success. Company president Tony Bartel issued a statement declaring that the new service had “exceeded expectations,” and noted that GameStop was expecting a big rush in the post-holiday season due to gamers trading in old devices replaced by new gifts.

GameStop is by no means the only company that accepts iOS for trade, but it was a bold move for a retailer that focuses exclusively on gaming. Naturally, the company will need to continue to branch out as digital distribution becomes more and more viable – the trade-in market is the most valuable aspect of their business and will keep them solvent for years to come if they can stay on top of trends.

Would you trade your iPad in at GameStop?
