GameStop, the world’s largest video game and gaming console retailer, reported a quarterly profit that narrowly missed analysts’ estimates as fewer customers shopped for video games at its stores.
Shares of the company (GME) fell 7.6% to $20.13 after the bell on Thursday.
Although the popularity of Nintendo Switch helped drive console sales at its stores, the growing popularity of downloading games from websites took a toll on its mainstay video game retail business.
Sales in its video game retail business dropped 3.4% to $369.3 million in the second quarter ended July 29, while hardware business recorded a 14.8% jump in sales to $248.4 million.
