| Ail said: I was actually surprised by my marketshare numbers so I just spent the time parsing BestBuy 4th quarter results ( sadly not same period, it's Jan-Feb-March whereas Gamestore has weird Feb-March-April). It's hard to dig into Best Buy numbers as they don't separate DVD and CD from gaming. But for that 3 month period they have roughly 2.3 Billion of US revenue for Gaming +DVD +CDs. For the same period Gamestop would be roughly around 1.5 billions for US revenue ( take or add 100 or 200 millions). In the end if you remove DVD and CD for BestBuy and used games for Gamestop I woudn't be surprised if their marketshare were quite close from each others.... |
You conveniently forget that a large portion of Gamestop's revenue is from used game sales.
