The Future is a Little Closer
Thanks to Nintendo and Lionsgate in their plans to offer TV shows and movies over the internets. Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Sony's PS3 already offer such services, but the Nintendo's much greater influence on the world could really give this market the puch it needs to really get to the public. The downside of the service on the Wii is its lack of a HDD and the fact that it isn't Hi-def. Despite these things, it is much more popular than the other two things, and let's not forget with the internets, we still have the option to stream, so the HDD problem isn't as much of a problem as it might at first seem.

Goodbye Gamestop (But Not Really)
The internets is abuzz with the March fifth news that Amazon has become a competitor to Gamestop in the used games business with Amazon Video Games Trade-In beta. This is obviously terrible news for Gamestop, which has enjoyed healthy market shares of the industry since the seventh-generation really took off, which has involved them enjoying high stock prices, which fell 13 percent after the announcement from Amazon, though the big drop in the Gamestop market cap seems to be after the March fourth Toys "R" Us announcement that select stores would be accepting used games in their stores.

This is just one more piece of the puzzle of the downfall of Gamestop. It is coming, slowly but surely. What they need to do is start investing in broadband distribution. The music and movie industries tried to fight the internet and failed miserably. The same situation is coming in the videogame industry (actually, it's already here), and if Gamestop doesn't adapt, it can kiss its good fortune goodbye altogether.
