DEAL OF THE WEEK

‘LONG TAIL’ EXPECTED FOR DJ HERO The co-founder of Guitar Hero Kai Huang has stated that a slow start at retail will not be unexpected for DJ Hero – although the title’s overall sales curve could prove to be more impressive.

“We’re not expecting a typical video game curve where you sell the majority of the units in the first month and then it decays quickly,” Huang told IGN. “We’re expecting this to be the type of game that may come out of the gate a little bit slower, but continue to grow over time.”

Huang added that he also expects that the series’ true success could come in future iterations as exposure and understanding of the title slowly grows.

“Guitar Hero took three iterations to get the game out there and for people to know how it works,” he said PES 2010 SHINES ON PS3 The PS3 has emerged as the clear platform of choice for Konami’s Pro Evolution Soccer.

The PS3 version of PES 2010, which was released last Friday, accounted for 66 per cent of the game’s overall sales, with Xbox

OCTOBER BOOM ON HIGH STREET UK High Street sales in the year up to October showed the most positive rate of growth in two years, research has shown.

The CBI’s latest monthly Distributive Trades Survey showed that the High Street expects even stronger growth in November.

41 per cent of respondents to the survey said that sales volumes had risen in the year to October, while 33 per cent said they were down.

19 per cent of retailers expected sales to increase in November – the most optimistic projection since July 2007.

In terms of stock, three per cent of firms said the volume of orders placed had fallen, but many predicted orders would rise in November.

360 claiming less than half that (32 per cent). The PC version claimed just two per cent of the week one sales.

However, despite storming to the top of the UK charts, PES 2010 actually fared far worse at retail than its predecessor, PES 2009, selling 39 per cent fewer copies in its first weekend.

FRONTLINE Nindie.com speaks to online indie EverythingPlay’s MD Tony West…

How has the market been for you so far this year?

We have had a cracking year so far – fingers crossed – and our sales are up year-on-year by 200 per cent. We are branching into lots of new areas of sales such as DVD, books and music so the future is looking really bright as well. We have seen a lot of new customers shop with us as well as lots of repeat buying through the year.

What makes your site unique?

I think it’s the ease of use and our layout.

We are constantly told that our site is really easy to use. Another key USP is we show our customers the basket total at the top of our page from the moment

they start to shop and this includes the shipping cost if there is one. I find it so annoying when I am shopping online and I find a great deal only to get all the way to the payment stage and see the merchant has adding £4 or £5 shipping to my order.

What are the biggest challenges facing your site?

The Royal Mail strikes are a real concern.

We are giving our customers the option to upgrade to a courier service but people want free delivery nowadays. With Royal Mail striking between now and Christmas, I am genuinely worried it will hurt our

What has been performing well?

PC games for us are on the up. In particular, the Oblivion: Knights of the Nine expansion pack – we just can’t get enough of those right now. Also Professor Layton and Pandora’s Box has done really well for us and continues to sell through.

What has been underperforming?

The Wii hasn’t performed how I thought it would. However, there are signs of an uplift this week – the new bundle is great value so its weird we haven’t seen a spike in sales.

Have you noticed any changes in your customer demographic over the last year?

We are seeing younger and younger customers who are hardcore gamers after the best price for their new releases.
