Overview

DFC Intelligence’s analysis of game genres and consumer types is different from our video game forecasting service. The forecasting service focuses on overall sales by platform, business model, and region. Genre and consumer forecasting is generally more in-depth and designed for users familiar with the game industry.

Much of DFC Intelligence work on video game genres and consumer forecasting is done on a custom basis. However, off-the-shelf reports are available below and we offer a low-cost subscription to some of our key analysis products.

Clients have the option to create custom reports based on the metrics they choose. Custom reports often do not cost significantly more than off-the-shelf reports and can usually be delivered within 48 hours.
