Wow from what you guys are saying Game has way to many outlets far too condensed. In my city we have two Ebgames but we are a city of 200,000 and we have one in dependant store. I could see some cities having multiple Game stores but two feet from one another. Our three retailers are spread out by a few kilometers. One Ebgames in the city center in the big mall and the other on the far end of town.
I would say Game sounds like it needs to reduce its over head drastically. Close any unnecessary stores and then expand into any region where their is demand. You know many retailers are coming to Canada our country was not that hard hit by the economic crisis. Game could probably cross over we only have EBGames/GameStop if Game came across they might be able to make some money.
Many struggling companies are expanding internationally maybe Game could spread further into healthier regions of Europe.
They should be able to cut losses by this winter. But if they can't get new product they are screwed they need new product. Does Game have an online store like EB does here? They need to adapt to the changing market.
