Gamestop really got lucky with the Switch success(They havent closed a store since June 2017 in the States IIRC), because Nintendo gamers lean more towards physical than xbox/playstation (especially with that paltry 32 gb space on the console).

Their 2017 holiday was much better than the 2016 holiday as a result.

However, this only stalls the eventual shutdown temporarily, and doesn't prevent it.

With its mandatory installs, my 500 GB Xbox One needed an external hardrive in less than a year.

Also, Gamestop's bread and butter sales come from it's used games.  Microsoft tried to put a stop to that during the Xbox One launch, and we all saw the consumer backlash that occurred.
