The folks at GamesIndustry.biz recently caught up with GameStop in Los Angeles, California, to gauge the company’s reactions to the various revelations made toward the start of E3 2018. GameStop vice president of merchandising Eric Bright explained that he’s pleased with the lineup for 2018’s final quarter, due to the solid spread of notable launches for the entire three-month period.
“I’m looking forward to an incredible Q4,” he says. “You’re kicking off with Call of Duty and going into Red Dead Redemption 2, then you have NBA and Assassin’s Creed and Battlefield and then you’re going all the way through December when you’re ending up with Smash Bros and you’ve got Pokémon and Fallout 76 in November – that’s a powerful holiday line-up.”
Nintendo, in particular, has benefitted from E3 2018 when it comes to grabbing the attention of GameStop customers, as Bright informs us that Switch sales doubled over the course of the week in the wake of the Super Smash Bros. deep dive, plus ongoing enthusiasm for Pokémon.
“Nothing beats Nintendo’s overall announcements,” he says. “Super Smash Bros is jumping right up to the top of the [pre-order] list. We’re also seeing great reaction from Pokémon Let’s Go, both SKUs, and then of course people are trying to get their hands on the Pokéball [controller] as well.
He continues: “Nintendo fans are definitely reacting, but we’re also seeing an incredible reaction from the tried and true franchises like Call of Duty. I think when they introduced their battle royale mode that spurred a lot of consumer interest; we’re seeing pick-up from that.”
