We’ve been hearing a lot lately about GameStop’s next moves into mobile gaming. It’d be stupid for them, as a company, to not recognize the huge amount of users who are doing their mobile gaming on their smartphones, tablets, and of course, the iPod Touch. This market has grown exponentially as of lately, easily passing the likes of the Nintendo DS and Playstation’s PSP and Vita systems. Tablets are also popular platforms for mobile gaming, whether they be Android or iPads, and GameStop has been on the move to start stocking and selling these products as soon as they can.
After starting to take trade-ins for things like iPods and iPads, GameStop has announced that they are planning to start selling pre-loaded Android tablets in over 1600 stores across the country. These tablets are the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, the Acer Iconia A100, and the Asus Transformer. All of these devices are very noteworthy for performance, and if I had to recommend someone an Android tablet, it would very likely be one of these three. Evidently GameStop agrees because they have decided to sell them, preloaded with games free of charge, to any customers who would like to take advantage of mobile gaming on a bigger screen.
