Not to be a jerk about this, but this "article" is pure speculation. It's not like any of those retailers have even announced earnings for last year and while I have no doubt Best Buy and Gamestop are facing some financial issues as a result of the economy, both had pretty decent holiday sales. While I'm sure Best Buy and Gamestop may close stores this year, it's silly to speculate about it before anything is announced. In addition, didn't we just have a huge Gamestop bashing post this past week that had to be closed?
