“There’s no question that we are improving margins in [the pre-owned] business. We still see growth in the pre-owned business for 2012. We also have seen gross profit growth in this quarter and we’ll see it in other quarters. We don’t believe that the pre-owned business is in a long-term decline.” – CEO Paul Raines
GameStop’s CEO also commented on the downward trend of console software sales, saying that it matches up with previous gens.
“If you look at the history, and spend time looking at previous console cycles, this behavior is not dissimilar from previous console cycles. We see a decline in innovation, we see price point pressure on hardware, we actually see contraction in all of the companies’ valuations in the sector, then you get the big pop with the new innovation.”
