Gamers rejoice: GameStop is almost doubling its number of seasonal workers this holiday season as it prepares to deal with strong demand for new video games and the new iPhone. GameStop Corp. said Thursday that it plans to hire about 25,000 employees for the critical holiday period, up approximately 47 percent from a year ago. The video game retailer said that the additional seasonal hires are expected to help it provide better customer service as people shop for new video games for Microsoft Corp.'s Xbox One, Sony Corp.'s PlayStation 4 and the Nintendo Wii U. The company said that it also expects many people will be trading in their mobile devices so that they can upgrade to the new iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus from Apple Inc.
