Dow Jones Description

We are a provider of interactive entertainment products. We sell our products primarily to large retail chains, specialty retail stores, video game rental outlets and distributors. We also sell our products internationally through distribution agreements with other publishers. We have developed our retail and distribution network over our 22-year history. We publish video game software for most major interactive entertainment hardware platforms, including Nintendos Wii, Game Boy Advance, or GBA, DS, Sonys PlayStation 3, or PS3, PlayStation 2, or PS2, and PlayStation Portable, or PSP, Microsofts Xbox, Xbox 360, the personal computer, or PC, and other mobile devices. Our video game titles are targeted at various demographics at a range of price points, from lower-priced value titles to more expensive premium titles. In some instances, these titles are based on licenses of well known properties, and in other cases based on original properties. We collaborate and enter into agreements with content providers and video game development studios for the creation of the majority of our video games. Our business model and product strategy is primarily focused on games with relatively lower development costs for both console and handheld systems targeting mass-market consumers. We believe this strategy allows us to capitalize on our strengths and expertise while reducing some of the cost and risk associated with publishing a large number of premium console titles. ...
