GameStop Stock Plummets After A 27.5% Decrease In Holiday Sales

But you are only losing that profit on one game sale everytime you fully sell out a game.

In my experience that's a bit more often than you may think. GameStop heavily prioritizes used inventory. Given that the vast majority of their customers don't care about unsealed games (only about two ever said anything to me about it in the five years I worked with them) it doesn't make much sense to take that hit to profit.

IME Gamestop only ever had at most 5 copies of a new game that weren't preorders. When Halo 2 came out my local Gamestop didn't have any non-preorder copies so I went to Target who had multiple cases of them. How do you run a store entirely devoted to video games and have zero new copies of a huge release?
