Beginning of the end? GameStop to increase focus on phones, INSTEAD of games!

You guys realky do have no idea how much business we do in pre owned tablets and phones do you.

Here's a hint. It's a staggering amount

I worked with y'all Christmas 2012 when this was just starting out, and did see a fair few trade-ins. Not so much in the way of sales, though. Haven't really spent much time in the stores since (pop in, buy games, pop out).

Yeah that sounds right. 2012 was really just the ramp up and introduction. 2013 was a massive year in recommerce for us. Honestly it saved the year for us in terms of profit with last gen console software showing a much steeper drop off than anticipated.

Personally Im not lets say.....how should i word this.....not thrilled to work with phones and tablets. That being said it is a huge area of profit and revenue growth and is a very important part of our business
