That's nice for you
£75.5 million profit..........and my bonus was a joke.
Glad you are all getting rich, how about passing it on to the staff that slave all week with little praise and constant pressure and stress
Big profit?!
So Game have made £75 million.
So what?!
They have over 800 stores! Broken down thats less than £90k per store.
Game have just announced record profits, yet its still only £90k per shop. No wonder the Chairmen has sold his shares, what chance have Game of ever paying of their debts.
Re: Big profit?!
True ^^
I don't blame him. Might as well make a quick buck whilst he can, i mean sell some shares whilst the companies riding the crest of a wave (Post xmas, Gamestation acquisition, PS3 slowly starting to actually sell, GTA4 sales etc.), before the gaming sector gets hit by the economic slow-down that is already crawling its way across the rest of the sector. Smart cookie. To coin a really annoying American phrase "Don't hate the player, hate the game." LOL.
Re: Big profit?!
They will go bust. If it wasnt for Nintendo they would allready be dead. Thats why there all selling up.
Re: Big profit?!
Um somehow i don't think GAME are going to go bust, Nintendo don't just distribute to GAME they distribute to all the retailers and besides if there was no Nintendo ther'd probs be sum ovr console out. He just wants to sell his shares becoz well he wants money like all of us :) lol
Re: Big profit?!
I sympathise with 1, it never filters down to the staff on the ground but thats probably why their profits keep rising :(
