GME - Supplier Power + USED Game Sales

A couple of Random sales facts on Gamestop (GME) I recently came across courtesy of the below link:

* Despite dealings with approx 40 different companies during 2007, only FOUR made up 65% of GameStop's 2007 sales (is GME's business model spread too thin + vulnerable to ceding margin to these BIG video game industry SUPPLIERS in the near future??!):

1. Nintendo - 21%
2. Sony
- 17%
3. Microsoft - 16%
4. Electronic Arts - 11%

*USED video game sales accounted for approx 43% of Gamestop's 2007 gross profit !

P.S. - We are now only
23 days away from GTA 4 !
