Forget Amazon, Is GameStop Really Trying to Be the "Best Buy of Gaming?"

Ryan Cohen, chairman of GameStop (NYSE: GME), once said he wanted the video game retailer to become the "Amazon of gaming." The physical-store business model was becoming outdated in the era of digital online gameplay and downloadable games. While that offers a broad sense that GameStop will likely be carrying a large assortment of games, equipment, and accessories that consumers can purchase online, just as they would at Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), the retailer's latest moves suggest it has much more in mind.
