- 9. PORTER’S 5 FORCES LOW- MEDIUM Since hardware manufacturers Wanted to make a profit on the 3DO System, they had a lot of Power over pricing and cost issues. 3DO licensed the manufacturing so they do not have much power over suppliers. They needed to Manufacture the 3DO to some Specs but the overall look and feel Differed. MEDIUM-HIGH Customers wanted enjoyable video Games whether the technology was Superior or if the system offered Other capabilities. Customers have To make the first purchase of the Console, but at such a high price ($700) this was difficult to do. Once The console was purchased, 3DO Gained back some power because Customers need to buy games to Play. LOW There are a lot of barriers to entry When trying to establish a video Game system. Crucial relationships Must be made with hardware and Software companies. Manufacturing and development Requires a lot of capital, time, and Resources. MEDIUM Substitutes to video games can Be arcade games which Sega Has mastered, amusement parks, Or even physical sports which Can make children go outside Rather than staying in to play Video games. Overall, the Industry will continue to perform Strong because there are a few Very close substitutes to video Games. HIGH There is a lot of competition within the industry With players such as Sega, Sony, and Nintendo. These companies manufacture their own Systems which allow them to take a loss on the Console in order to make up for the difference In video game sales. Price for the console is a Very competitive aspect of the industry Because once a console is purchased, further Games need to be purchased. But the Decision to purchase is mainly based on the Availability of enjoyable video games.
