As a side-note, what would the incentive be for stores to still carry a company’s consoles if they can’t sell the games? Stores don’t make much off the systems themselves (unless used).

Well, EB Games has lately been selling toys, board games, socks, t-shirts, water bottles, lamps, ceramic cookie jars, and more geeky non-gaming stuff. Guess game stores are starting to restructure their business.

That’s true.

It happens here as well in dedicated game stores, they have way more collectibles and merchandising than in the past. Also a suspicious amount of it is actually Zelda stuff. Stores here seemed to have ditched strategy guides though for the most part for some reason.
