The GameStop CEO George Sherman said, “The company would expand its product offerings with more PC gaming and consumer electronics in some earnings call.

There’s no word if the new products will be exclusive to Gamestop.com or offered in limited quantities to physical stores.”

He even said regarding this new move diving into PC gaming hardware, “reduce our reliance on the cyclicality of the console-based gaming market.”

When it comes to E-commerce Sherman more said, “GameStop will invest more in its e-commerce,”

“Global e-commerce sales increased 175% and represented 34% of total sales in the fourth quarter versus 12% of net sales in the prior-year period,”

Related to the product catalog, he mentioned “This includes growing our product offerings across PC gaming, computers, monitors, game tables, mobile gaming, and gaming TVs, to name only a few.”

GameStop made special smart move looking at the current situation of their stock price. Monitoring the demand of the supply, it’s an amazing move to jump into the world of video gaming.

But the drawback for the other countries is that GameStop only shipping products within US other regions still not available.

It’s considered as the huge step for the GameStop to sell such gaming hardware. Even though knowing the shortage of it, they believe in settling in such sort of area.
