How do I open a gaming company?

Q. Hello, I am a MBA student currently pursuing my degree in International Business. Since childhood I was very fond of gaming, be it video games, computer games or console games.

Now I would like to open my own gaming company, but I don't have much idea how to go about it. Should I start as a publisher, a developer or both? Also what are the things I should keep in mind while starting my company?

Please advice.

A. Hey i dont suggest starting a gaming company yourself unless you have millions to spare. Seriously the gaming industry extremely high barriers to entry. I just graduated and we had a huuuuuuge case that analyzed the whole industry itself. If you start your company you wont have an established name which means that it is almost impossible fo you to get a spot on shelves at walmart and target which is what gaming industries want.
Another thing is that the gaming industry is very technological which means you will constantly have to update your software, the quality of your games, the systems that you are compatible with...This requires a high specialized engineer for each section.

You also will have the costs of marketing your product, start up costs, developing your equipment costs...This is a huuuuge investment the is more than likely to be lost beause of mor eestablished and developed competitors assuming that you make what an avg individual make about $75k.

I suggest working as an employee at an established gaming co such as GMA because they are contracted with one of the systems i think XBOX (I think XBOX, dont quote me on that).

Good luck. I hope i helped


Should I get a PS3 or replace my computer equipment?
Q. So I saved money, and I've been thinking of getting either a PS3 or new equipment for my computer, changing the keyboard and the mouse to gaming equipment,

A. If the "gaming mouse" and "gaming keyboard" you're looking at cost as much as a PS3, then I think you should go for the PS3 rather than buying what seems to be a quite overpriced gaming mouse and gaming keyboard.
