$3 Billion Holiday for GameStop

$3 Billion Holiday for GameStop

None

GameStop announced that sales for the holiday season (the nine-week period ending January 1) crossed the $3 billion mark. This is a new record for the company, beating out last year’s $2.86 billion.


The popularity of Sony Kinect, Black Ops, and World of Warcraft: Cataclysm contributed greatly to these numbers, as did the rapidly growing popularity of GameStop’s website. In fact, GameStop president Tony Bartel claims that the retailer’s online sales “rose more than 100 per cent versus last year, far outpacing online industry growth during the period, remaining the fastest growing website in the video game space.”
