GameStop sees plenty of opportunity by selling Android tablets

Have you ever found any another reason to visit your nearest local gaming store (a.k.a GameStop Store)?  I know, you just shopped for Battlefield 3 and looking forward to Call of Duty Modern Welfare 3 in coming days. If you are planning to purchase a brand new tablet, probably Android powered, than paying a visit to GameStop is a must for all gaming freaks. The specialty video game retailer with 6,450 retail stores around the world, plans to sell Android based tablets.  

GameStop Corporation has jointly collaborated with leading tablet makers such as Samsung, Asus and Acer. All these tablets (models) are non- exclusive to GameStop. When you shop from GameStop, exclusive content from Electronic Arts (EA), access to GameStop’s own App store called “Kongregate Arcade” among others adds a new dimension to widely available android tablets

Earlier company was looking to develop its own range but finally went with familiar established brands. The Grapevine, Texas, based firm developed new wireless controller, which can be purchased along with tablets. Each controller costs consumers $39, looks very similar to current generation controllers developed by Sony and Microsoft. It’s interesting to see how a gamer will interact with game by using physical controllers.

But now the question rises, are consumers actually ready to pay outrageous prices for a tablet. Why consumers go for non- branded GameStop tablet? According to Tony Bartel, President, GameStop “Consumers wants to play games on multiple platforms” Can any body tell, when we going to see a true gaming tablet from Alienware. Yes! A true tablet meant for gaming, only gaming, nothing else. Why companies like Amazon  waste their resources and energies by making fully featured cum all in one gadget. Still looking for an answer?
