Game Informer is now Australia’s best-selling technology magazine
Game Informer is now Australia’s best-selling video game and technology magazine. The January-June 2011 ABC audit revealed the magazine is selling an average of 41,324 copies per month, an increase of 72% year-on-year and growth of 42% over the previous six months.
Citrus Media publishing director Jim Flynn is excited by the title’s growth saying, “When we launched the magazine we told our partners and advertisers we were going to hit 40,000 sales within a couple of years. Here we are on issue 20 and I’m ecstatic that we’ve achieved that. Our readers are predominantly 18-35 year old, tech savvy males who are embracing a print magazine. It’s an amazing success story and the plans moving forward are even more ambitious and exciting.”
The magazine’s editor Chris Stead sees the result as a big win for the print medium: “I strongly believe that good, consistent content is enough to not only make print succeed, but thrive in today’s market. It is absolutely possible to deliver an experience to a magazine consumer that they can’t get anywhere else and to surprise them with new and interesting product and analysis from all corners of the gaming world. It’s my goal to continue to amaze our readers with each and every issue and today’s results give me great confidence that Australian and New Zealand gamers are responding. With arguably the biggest Christmas in the video game industry’s history nearing, it’s a great time to be a gamer and a Game Informer reader.”
Game Informer issue 21 goes on sale on August 17, featuring yet another world exclusive game unveiling – Borderlands 2 – plus the best of the rest of the world’s video game news.
