GameStop shares surge on multiyear partnership with Microsoft to create 'ultimate gaming destination'

Seems like a smart move on both of their parts. Wouldn't be surprised if MS buys GameStop outright at some point.

I gotta assume these places will still sell Nintendo and Sony suff, but you gotta figure GameStop's will soon just look like XBox stores.

GameStop must have nudes of some Microsoft executive.

This almost feels like Netflix buying Blockbuster.

If Gamestop would make it worth my while to purchase and trade physical media I would be glad to shop there more often. I still buy discs on occasion but more often than not over the last few years the prices and sales on the MS or PS store have beat GS and the trade in values are still shitty.

MSFT seems to be on a tear with doing something in the gaming world

- Advance the digital realm
- Acquire any game studio they can
- Merge the PC and console worlds
- Launched the most packed subscription service
- Launch a potential huge streaming service
- Partner with largest brick-n-morter retail seller
- Partner with Nintendo upcoming

Meanwhile back at Sony

- We got a FTL SSD


I kid with you Sony people, but they really need to do something besides muh exclusives.

Gamestop was stupid. They should have pivoted YEARS ago to more of an online/digital sales model. They could have been a leader in the space and much better off than they are now.
