An African American Video Game - Can It Work?

The video gaming industry generates billions of dollars in revenue every single year. One company, Nerjyzed Entertainment, Inc. (pronounced "Energized"), is trying something new and making history at the same time. They're releasing the first ever major African American video game for the Xbox 360.

The game is called Black College Football Experience (BCFx): The Doug Williams Edition, and it celebrates the excitement of the black college football experience.

Named after Grambling great and Super Bowl MVP Doug Williams, the game features competitive football game play, real-time interactive halftime shows and head to head drumline competition. It also includes a Legacy museum to educate and salute the incredible history of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and their great football legends.

Do I think this will work? Absolutely.

I can easily see this video game selling a million units or more. It was smart for Nerjyzed Entertainment to develop this game, and it was even smarter for Microsoft to publish it through their Xbox console.

Think of all the people who are attending HBCUs. Think of all the people who graduated from HBCUs. Think of all the people who work at HBCUs. Think of all the celebrities who support HBCUs. That's a huge audience of potential buyers and endorsers.

Genius!
