“Whereas now 60% of the games sold are PC games, in the near future the situation will change. In three years’ time, sales of games for consoles will dominate locally, as well,” Allardin stated.
Romania’s games market reached EUR18 million in 2010, and Best Distribution expects it to stay flat this year.
“We were disappointed by the first quarter. Sales dropped by 10%
from the same period of last year, largely because of the lack of
major titles and launches,” stated Allardin, specifying she
expected the market to rebound, the more so as Diablo III game is
set to be launched in the last quarter of the year.
