GameStop Gets 75% of New Sales Revenue from Five Companies

March 31, 2010 3:00 PM

In its annual filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, spotted by GameSpot, GameStop's sales figures reveal that the video game retail chain gets 75% of its revenue on new hardware and software sales from five companies. GameStop purchases products from around 75 companies.

Nintendo accounts for the most new sales at 23%. Following Nintendo are Sony (17%), Microsoft (12%), Electronic Arts (12%) and Activision (11%).

The next five companies on the list account for another 10%, leaving the remaining 65 companies fighting over the last 15%. If anything were to happen to any of the top 5, GameStop (and likely all game retailers) would take a large hit.

GameStop also has a lucrative used hardware and software business.
