Remij 4,717 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Here's their stocks for the last 5 years... They are done... https://www.cnbc.com/2019/06/04/gamestop-stock-falls-as-sales-fall-short-and-dividend-eliminated.html These types of stores are finished, and this is only going to push more and more people to digital. Next gen, digital adoption is going to skyrocket. I'm sry brehs.. but it's happening. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Playstation Tablet 1,746 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 All these gaming dedicated stores that massive are most worthless. Shit prices and what not compared to online. The specialized smaller ones are great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DynamiteCop 2,088 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 The last refuge will be department stores, the physical dream is in fact dead. GameStop is finished. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You must not be familiar with the US, we don't really have "smaller" shops, or game stores, they don't exist anymore and have been wiped from the map by GameStop. Once they go it's just meager gaming sections in department stores, that's it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DynamiteCop 2,088 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 This is actually something wonderful, when they get the axe think how many video games are going to flood the market and how cheap everything will be. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

On consoles physical is often cheaper than digital already. It's very common. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Goukosan 2,283 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Best buy, Target and Amazon have crippled Gamestop =/= physical ia dead. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JonDnD 2,698 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Remember when we used to go shopping at the mall? Lol In probably 5 more years most retail will be dead and gone. Probably just the grocery stores left and maybe....maybe best buy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Our Fred Meyer stores (huge local department store chain) are already gutting out their gaming and entertainment departments one by one. Best Buy and Target have meager stock, Walmart is worse, so basically there's just Amazon. People will say fuck it and just buy digitally instead of waiting around for shipping.

Playstation Tablet 1,746 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Yeah just look at the bright future of the XBox S SAD. Clearly a success. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JonDnD 2,698 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Digital will happen. Not sure why people are thinking it won't. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Benji has access to best buy data.... and they move enough hardware and Software Nation wide for him to use that data and accurately predict entire NPD results.

No one is saying it wouldn't happen... it will in about 5 to 8 years. DynamiteCop is saying digital is already the majority on consoles.... whereas the data actually shows its only between 20 to 24 percent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jehurey 3,299 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 the amount of OTHER arguments that lemmings need to make in order to portray Microsoft as "not-failing" is fun to watch. On the flip side, electronics retailer Best Buy has been a stock market darling and overperforming wall street estimates. So, between them, Walmart and Amazon, retail video games will have plenty of homes for quite a while. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This is Seattle, Nintendo is here, Microsoft is here, this is one of the largest video game and technology hubs in the United States and you want to talk to me about what I'm seeing in the stores here is not representative of the broad scope? We have dozens of stores in the area that can be referenced from, they have dick for used games except some pre-approved refurbished stuff, they don't get everything in stock in a timely fashion or at all and rotate stock out in a very timely fashion. Their game sections are getting smaller and smaller, the options more limited, this is happening everywhere so don't B.S. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Playstation Tablet 1,746 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 I bet even this gen they won't release a discless PS5 just like the PS4. No one is compromising options to save 15 bucks on production costs, and the savings for the consumer are a loss old 50 bucks at best. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lynux3 2,165 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Amazon is also in Seattle which is probably where a bunch of physical sales come from. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
