GameStop CEO Q&A: From Retail to Digital
Stock quotes in this article:GME
TheStreet: What is the future of traditional brick-and-mortar stores in the gaming world?
Raines: We continue to add stores but are selective. Our square footage growth is, of course, nowhere near what it was. The real secret opportunity is to sell digital copy in stores and turn the physical stores into an entertainment center. The stores can then become a hub where consumers can come in and find out what's the best games for them, information about new releases and get help on how to play games. TheStreet: GameStop takeover chatter keeps resurfacing. Is there any merit to these rumors? Raines: We don't comment on these rumors. Right now we are just focusing on our digital strategy. -- Reported by Jeanine Poggi in New York.| More on Video Games The Best Video Games at E3 2010 |
