Amazon: Video Game Revenue Down, Physical Book Sales Up

nintendo amazonAmazon CFO Tom Szkutak offered more details this afternoon during an analyst earnings call about the company's disappointing fourth quarterWhen it comes to physical media, Szkutak said the biggest hit to revenue came in the area of video game sales, which includes both console and game sales (but not games sold digitally, say from Amazon's app store). Even though he didn't offer specific numbers on that front, he noted that video games sales are seasonal and normally take a big leap in the last quarter of the year and that did indeed happen this year, but not enough to match 2010 revenue. In part, that's because more of those sales are going to Amazon's third-party sellers, rather than Amazon itself. So video games units were up, while revenue was down.
