i always find it funny when people jump to conclusions like this. i feel like people have been saying the same about gamestop for the past, well.. 10+ years. that they are dying because of the move to digital. well not really. they are dying because their pricing stinks, their stores are unappealing, the stores are filled with junk, and the employees are overbearing and make the experience miserable. there always has and will be a place for physical games in the marketplace. sure, gamestop wont be as booming as it was in the 7th generation, but that doesnt mean it still cant be profitable. people will blame the rising popularity of digital purchases, but i think if gamestop got to really know and understand their customer base, theyd be much more successful.

There's a store chain called VideoGamesEtc. They operate like the Gamestop of old and are doing very well. 

the business model could still be successful if implemented properly.
