Wal-Mart and other general retailers stock mainly shovelware and big hits because their uneducated (gaming-wise) consumers only buy crap. Niche games need a physical home, a presence in stores, otherwise they may not be released at all. Why do you think Xenoblade Chronicles was Gamestop-only? They were most likely the biggest retailer who would even stock the game. Do you really think Wal-Mart would move Shooter-Hunter/Colorful Mini-Game 2013 for a JRPG franchise with a cult following? Forget about it, their customers are mainly rednecks and little kids (or their parents) who pick up the redneckiest or most colorfully packaged games. Someday online will be the way to get games. Until then, we need actual game stores. |
Thats a good point, I never really noticed since I'm not really a fan of jrpg', but I see what you mean.
