Hello,

according to my current Bachelor thesis: " Nintendo's Recipe of Success" I'm searching desperately current numbers of the global video game industry sales 2008 and its forecasts 2011/2012. How does the industry looks like compared to the other entertainment industries (Music/Movie)

I found several facts and numbers on VGCharts and other sites but often only the US numbers of 2008!!!

Please help me!!!

I addition: What kind of distribution channels does Nintendo have? Does it distribute on its own???

Thank you, guys

Nintendo uses Jack of All Games, Ingram Entertainment, D&H Distributing, Star City Video, SVG Distribution, Mecca Electronics Industries, VPD Games and Vast for US distribution.

NCL distributes much of Asia along with Mani Limited, Active Boeki and Haku Yu.

Nintendo of Europe distributes for the Middle East most of Africa where they use Core Gaming Systems for a few nations.

Latamel, Inc. is used for Central and South America.

In Europe they use Nintendo of Europe for half the countries and Stadlbauer Marketing, Nortec Multimedia, Nortec Eurasia, Conquest Entertainment, Bergsala Denmark, Bergsala AB, Amo Oy, Ormsson EHF, Concentra, Noviy Disk or Waldmeier. The UK, Italy, France and Benelux use their own Nintendo branch for distribution.


Don't forget if also have the Virtual Console and WiiWare online distribution services.

Wow, thank you man!

I didn't know that Nintendo has such a broad Distribution System. That's helps me a lot.

cheers
