GameStop, which is a known game store chain worldwide, has to close a few stores.

GameStop shared its latest financial earnings report , which made its stock plummet by thirteen percent in just a single day after the investors have found out that the holiday season sales weren’t as good as expected. Therefore, GameStop will close at least 150 (at most 225) stores throughout the world. (Going back to the stocks for a moment: GameStop’s stock value has dropped by thirty-one percent in a year)

Both software and hardware sales have dropped, but despite seeing how GameStop has two successful store brands (Spring Mobile and Simply Mac), they still paid the price for the expansion. They will likely focus on these shops this year.
