Total sales leap 35 per cent in second quarter
Video game retail giant, GameStop, has reported record financials for the second quarter of 2008.
Net earnings reached $57.2 million for its Q2, an increase of 162.1 per cent over the same period last year. Sales also leapt 34.8 per cent to $1,804.4 million.
The firm highlighted GTA IV, Metal Gear Solid 4, NCAA Football 09, Wii Fit and Battlefield: Bad Company as the reason behind its growth.
“In the second quarter, we produced record revenues in each of the geographical regions where we operate,” said chairman and CEO Richard Fontaine. “By prioritising our investments and focusing our resources, GameStop continues to significantly outperform the specialty retail segment as a whole, when comparing top-line growth, comparable store sales, and net earnings growth.”
Following the stronger than expected second quarter, GameStop is increasing its fiscal 2008 guidance. Full year diluted earnings per share are now forecast to range from $2.45 to $2.50, representing a 36 per cent to 39 per cent growth over last year.

jordan shoes
So many people who is UGG Boots fans are talking about jordan shoes, they want to collect all Nike Shoes to show how professional they are.I don’t know how many Nike Air there are and how much it need to prepare for all ugg boots. All of understood that air jordans is not so cheap, hundreds of jordan shoes can make any air jordans fan who want to collect all nike shoes become poor. Also, there are so many ladies searching Air Jordan or UGGS to show they are really like ed hardy. The same situation happened at Silver Jewelry realm, such as ladies like buying Tiffany though it’s costly, why the people always do this. Somebody can tell me how about this tiffany?
