Preference about the games War command is one type of the most popular game on the market right now, we can see from the following graph how to place different category in the market. Source: From marketing research The most popular category is war command game, like BLITZKRIEG, BLACK HAWK DOWN, and EPISODE 1: BATTLE OF NORMANDY. Some people think these games can relate to the real world, and the situation in Iraq, can raise the interest while playing these kind of game. The second category come with the RPG game, and then the Strategy game. This game is not only some simple action, it is including the story, people have to think how to solve the problem. These kind of game using the brain and takes time to play. High mind share in the market can easily lead to a bright future in this category. The market trend to this category, but it doesn't mean any RPG game get a high sales, it also depends on other facts, e.g. technology, design, and the content. Oject company pablish on net saids they are using the new technology, with the GM tools can access all the player to solve the problem on net. But up to now, there still problems with the server, they will work 7*24 hours for the server running fast.

Distribution channel In Denmark, the distribution chain can be EB game shops, big shopping centre, supper market, and electronic shops like Merlin... So I have lay out these choices for people to choose, to see where they saw the advertising and purchase games. ...read more.
