Gamestop has recently analyzed the games that will be out in Fall 2018 and the retailer expects Red Dead Redemption 2 to be the best selling game of the entire year.
Game Industry had a chance to talk to Eric Bright who is Gamestop’s current Vice president of merchandising and he says Fall 2018 could be one of the most profitable quarters the retailer has had in years.
Bright says according to pre-orders, Red Dead Redemption 2 is looking like it will be the best selling game of the year. Another game doing well with pre-orders is Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. Bright speculates the Battle Royale announcement caused pre-orders to go up.
The Nintendo Switch console saw an uptake in sales thanks to the announcements of Super Smash Bros. and the new Pokemon games. Gamestop says there is also a huge demand for the Pokeball controller.
This does not even mention the other AAA titles that will be released in September through to November. This Fall 2018 is going to make gamers very poor as there’s too many great games to buy!
