Best Buy's Big Game Gains

Best Buy definitely owes each and every one of us a cookie. The retail juggernaut has reported its profits for the third quarter, seeing a double digit gain in entertainment software sales. This effectively makes gamers and gamer enablers responsible for 17% of their $8.5 billion revenue for the period, due in no small part to the new console launches.

Despite our best efforts they still managed to miss projections, with profits only up $12 million from last year's $138 million, which is probably due in no small part to all that space taken up by CDs that no one buys. They should probably just replace that section with more video games. They can pay me for that suggestion when they deliver my cookie.
