Select EBgames are going to sell what?

Cell phone games somehow constitute general electronics now? They're still games, just for a different type of system.
 
The sales clerks at my local B&M EB Games and Gamestop locations have been complaining about having to carry the poor selling N-Gage line for over a year now. I can't imagine brining more cell phone software into the mix will improve sales.
 
It's just another software platform. In fact, a platform with an installed base greater than all the current generation, including GBA, combined. They'd have to be stupid to ignore it.

Seems that starting next month, 100 select EB stores are going to start selling cell phone games. What's next? TVs and DVD players?[/quote]

EB has been selling DVD players since the day of the PS2 launch. They've been selling new and used DVDs longer still. What I find much more questionable is the amount of space they give to statuettes and action figures. I'd rather see a deeper software inventory than that stuff.

My EBs devote a shitty little cart to figures.
 
My EB's action figures area is pratically hidden. Its on a shelf on the wall at an area where no one can see or suspect anything would be there.

I don't think the action figures sell very well. They're cool - the Muppet ones look particularly amazing - but they're so expensive. $10 for a figure? Hell no...

Mine have had cell phone games for quite some time.[/quote]

Ditto. Mine's had them for over a year actually....
 
The EBs and GameStops in my region give a dismaying amount of space to the action figures and similar girlfriend repellents. Easily enough for an entire lesser platform or deeper stock of the other platforms.
 
The very first Electronics Boutique was a kiosk in King of Prussia, PA that sold watches and calculators. This was back in the day when a 4-function calculator was huge and cost what a good graphing calculator does today.
 
My EB has nothing but baseball action figures, and they always have the same ones, I don't think they have sold a single one in the past 3 years.
