Video Games in 2021

Video games continued their slide into the end of 2021 as the market continued to soften. Oversupply on the fractional platforms may be a factor.

Last week’s performance

Fractional secondary markets

For the first time since we’ve tracked this asset class, every category was either flat or down this week. NES and Gameboy continue to be least-worst, but an 8.4% skid following 11% last week isn’t a good look.

All stats come from assets trading on the secondary markets at Otis, Collectable, and Rally.

This Week

New IPOs

One new IPO this week from Rally. While Popeye itself isn’t a big name, the fact that it’s one of the thiry original black box games for the NES gives it some appeal.

  • Market Cap: $110k (30% retained equity)
  • Inferred Value: $90k (this is very rough as there are no comps)
