GameStop execs talk Wii U, first-party games boosting sales
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 2 Comments
During GameStop’s Q2 2014 earnings conference call, the company’s Mike Mauler mentioned that Mario Kart 8 “helped drive a more than threefold increase in Wii U hardware sales versus Q2 2013.” A couple of higher-ups were asked to further discuss the outlook for Wii U later on.
President Tony Bartel started off by stating:
You know, we’ve been very consistent, every time we’re asked about the Wii U here, that really what they needed was two things. They needed strong first party titles, which we think that they are getting, and they also needed to do a better job of explaining exactly what the connected [unintelligible], as we like to call it, how you actually use that. I think that they’re going to do a great job on both of those.
Clearly, they’ve come out with some nice announcements at gamescom. Preorders really spiked when they came out on that. So we’re very excited about that.

GameStop overhauling trade-in program this month – more money for games
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 4 Comments
Kotaku has obtained documents from GameStop that reveal imminent plans to revamp the retailer’s trade-in service.
Customers won’t need to delegate money towards pre-orders/promotions in order to get the most value any longer. Instead, you’ll instead be able to take advantage of flat rates. The only variations will be for GameStop Power Up Rewards members and whether you decide to receive cash instead of store credit.
GameStop’s “average base value” of games will increase by 20 percent.
Check out this excerpt from one of the GameStop documents:
“By eliminating the higher end price of products we buy and raising the lower end, we are able to raise the overall value the customers will receive. With this program, we will not have complex multi-tiered trade promotions for the associates to remember and less math for the customer to understand what they are getting for their games.”
Another excerpt details how GameStop will be asking its employees to interact with consumers with regard to trade-ins, and how they’ll be looking to use the terms “buy” and “sell” instead:
