Dennis, true that video games release info about titles years in advance. But, games cost $39-$100 a pop. They’re accessible to nearly everyone, price-wise. Video game pricing is also throttled as a title ages…. And “manufacturing” titles, once designed, isn’t difficult.
Way different scenario when a game costs $7k - $15k… and you, as a company, banks on selling a relatively limited amount of games to a much narrower audience. Production time frames are long, and to be efficient you need to purchase and stock parts in advance - not to mention labor certainly factors into the equation.
The financial risk of customers holding onto cash in order to afford a specific title months down the road is greater, and would have serious impacts on profitability.
