Exhibitions on Collision Course
Breaking news of possible big show clashes as Preview 2005 (along with others events) head for a collision course with AMOA 2004, sudden changes of the AMOA calendar placing European events into the face of a chaotic autumn 2004 period, with five of Europe's leading shows now in direct competition with the troubled America Expo.
Consumer Concentration
The "Stinger" reports on the movement in the console sector including the drop of hardware prices, such as the GameCube being reduced to $99.99, to match dwindling sales, complications of the publishing structure, and the demise of a number of independent studios, while at the same time new portable game machines vie with broadband, and retro gaming - all begging the question "is consumer chasing a shrinking target?"
US Subsidiary Under SNKP Orders
The Stinger breaks the wall of silence and looks closely at USA subsidiary of SNK Playmore in an extensive report. Talk of possible restructuring of the American presence in the face of poor operator support, their stance with distributors and hard realities surrounding a low-key AMOA presence are revealed. TSR sits down with those affected for their comments and dredges up information on the truth about who can sell USA MVS cartridges, possible SNKP secret platform, possible Sammy domination, and an inability to share!
Preview 2004 - Proves Growing Sector
UK excitement at Preview 2004 with the launch of SEGA premier titles such as "Out Run 2" in Europe, GlobalVR shows "Need for Speed" and Tsunami premiers "StarWars Starfighter". The market returns to distributor direction while Avranches enters the original manufacturing stakes, growing SWP numbers, possible big show clashes as Preview 2005 and AMOA 2004 head for collision course, and much more covered in depth and entirety first.
