I don't know their market share and the amount of revenue they used to generate from Xbox, but I guess this is more of a problem with the future business model of game stores than anything else. If I was a shareholder of one of these companies I would've sold them off some time ago as anyone could have seen this coming as soon as the app stores took off.



I think they should really take this moment as a wakeup call to go looking for other ways to generate revenue, because selling individual games, console bundles and hardware at low margins isn't going to cut it for game specific retail stores in 2/3 years time when the next generation hits (or more optimistically 5-10 years). Or they could react like this and further limit their revenues in the short term, while they will see revenue decline.
