Not really when you consider the size of a best buy compared to the typical gamestop.

At the same time, do they really need 7x more?

 

If Best Buy had, say, 5000 stores, that means gamestop has 35,000. I am pretty sure you do not need 35k Gamestops in the US. 

 

It becomes unnecessary and a headache. Get rid of stores with smaller profits and focus on doing well with every store. 

Given the very low population density in the US (Belgium has 10 times more people per km² and we are not even full), it requires a lot of stores to cover the less urbanized area, which are still really important for the franchise's image.
