Does Box Art Sell Games?

Box art was once a major selling point of video games. How has box art evolved? Does it still help companies sell games?

Not like it used to before the internet and game play demos. But it matters to me even if I buy digital sometimes, I want to see a cool cover image in my digital library.

Certainly not in the same way that box art used to matter for VHS, DVDs, CDs and games back in the day. When you didn't have a phone you could whip out to look up the latest reviews at a moment's notice, you had to guage from the box if it was worth your time and money. Still massively prefer having a game physically, though I can completely understand the attraction of a digital only library - a cool cover art is still nice though.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing17d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9217d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
