GloAim is a
software house in Pakistan; they developed a video game (Glodoll) for
kids in 2001. The prototype of the game was developed and tested
in various play stations in Pakistan. At the testing stage, it had been
seen that the video game had the longest “play value”. The product was
introduced in the market; after only six months, GloAim sold 30 million
copies of the video game. Soon after such a huge response, sales were almost
completely stopped. However, they made sales of $50 millions.
The product life
cycle of the video game was not long as basic products have typical long
product life cycle. GloAim developed and tested the prototype during the
product development stage, but they sidestepped the introduction stage. As it
is mentioned above there were rapid sales, and the video game quickly
approached the growth stage. Here again, they skipped the maturity stage and
directly went into the decline stage.
Discussion
Question:
GloAim’s video
game (Glodoll) did not follow the traditional product life cycle. Do you
think products can be successful if they do not follow the typical product
life cycle?
