Cardan : "Yes, my sweet villain, my darling god."

"it seems I have a singular taste for women who threaten me."

"I wasn't kind Jude. not to many people. Not to you. I wasn't sure if I wanted you or if I wanted you gone from my sight so that I would stop feeling as I did, which made me even more unkind. But when you were gone - truly gone - beneath the waves - I hated myself as I never had before."

Hello, I am trying to find out the distribution process that happens between Sony and retailers. I mainly want to know if Sony has made their money when a retailer buys X amount of games from Sony? Has Sony made their money and it's up to the retailers to make their profit on their own? Do sales effect Sony? Obviously not right since they have already made their money from the retailers? Also, if theres an easier way to communicate please let me know. I have so many questions on this subject.

So… the model you’re looking at is missing a link. Software and hardware publishers like Sony, Microsoft, EA, Activision, etc. usually deal with distributors, who then deal with the retailers and wholesalers. Much of physical media sales are handled by distributors who buy huge quantities of the products and then turn around and sell them in much smaller quantities (at a markup) to retailers and wholesalers. The publisher is in charge of manufacturing things - the games, hardware, etc. They then deal with the distributors to distribute those products out into retail stores. The retailers buy their stock either from the distributors directly, or from wholesalers who also buy from the distributors (but in larger quantity).

When a seller buys a lot of product, they assume a lot of risk - if they can’t sell all of that product, they’re stuck with a bunch of items that they paid for. Those items take up valuable space that could be used for items that do sell. This is true for anyone in the chain who can’t sell that stock. This is the reason for “clearance” sales - the seller is deliberately taking a loss on the product that isn’t selling at regular price in order to get something for it and clear out that space for new stuff. It’s often better to get some money for it and take a smaller loss than throw it away and take an even bigger loss. 

In order to help offset this kind of risk, most publishers will offer a sales buyback agreement where they will offer to buy back some maximum percentage of the total stock that was sold or allow the distributor to trade in unsold stock for credit towards future products. The one doing the buyback will then be stuck with the unused stock, which is how Atari ended up dumping so many copies of E.T. into a landfill back in the 80s. So it’s not a 100% guarantee, but it isn’t zero either - there’s usually some amount of protection for the distributors and retailers built in, depending on the specific deal between each party involved.

Overall sales greatly affect game publishers. The total number of copies that end up in player hands ultimately determines how successful a product is. If the products don’t sell through to the consumers, some of them get bought back and the publisher doesn’t make as much as they thought they would. Some of them get sold on clearance to take a smaller loss. Those that can’t be sold get thrown away and everybody involved loses money - the publisher for paying to manufacture it, the distributor and retailer for buying it, and the retailer for not being able to sell it. Overall, this is one of the major drivers towards digital game sales. We don’t have to worry as much about unsold inventory in a digital space.
