If you've been paying attention to the game system (Nintendo, XBox, etc.) market, you would find a large customer following for its products. This could be a great retail opportunity for dealers looking to diversify their businesses.
The big three game systems - XBox (Microsoft), GameCube (Nintendo), PlayStation (Sony) - are offering some of the greatest retail sales opportunities on the consumer electronics front. And, why is this? Let's enter the mind of the famished gaming geek...
~~~~~I want to buy an XBox at a price of $199, three or four games for $50 each, some accessories, which can cost in excess of $40 and I want to keep coming back for more games~~~~~
Potentially, this person could spend $350 to $400, and if they keep coming back for more games, the benefits could be endless - especially when the gaming companies keep manufacturing new games on a weekly basis. Plus, when next generation gaming systems hit the market, retailers sell-out in a matter of minutes.
XBox - www.xbox.com - $199 (for the box and one controller):
The XBox, manufactured by Bill Gates and Co., offers such features as 64 MB of memory, a built-in hard drive, four game controller ports, an Ethernet port for a broadband connection, 256 audio channels, a front-loading DVD tray, a multisignal audio-video connector that allows for easy hookup to televisions and home theater systems, HDTV capabilities (movie and gaming), Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound, and the box can act as a DVD player (DVD movie playback capabilities with remote control, sold separately).
