    Thanks for posting here!

    I love this EPS report - roughly -.0085, less than a cent off parity. The story here is in two parts: 1. improvement over last Q2 / general improvement and 2. maintaining negative EPS, by the skin of our teeth.

    I also wanted to point out the DRS numbers here. GME DRS numbers went down about 1.2 million, from 76.6mil in Q1 to 75.4mil in Q2.

    That 1.2mil difference is curiously the exact same figure that Mainstar was revealed to have been holding for GME investors on 4/21/2023 from the stockholder list. Mainstar later moved all shares they were custodian for back to Cede on 6/20/23.

    However, that still would mean that overall DRS numbers stopped accumulating otherwise. There are a couple explanations for this that I can think of.

    1. People are buying / drsing much less, due to economic or other factors.
    2. Mainstar accumulated more shares between 4/21 and 6/20, which were also removed but we can’t account for.
    3. Heat lamp theory. HLT has to do with the idea that on larger volume days, there is a larger need for operational efficiency and so more shares from the plan are held with DTC. The q2 record date for DRS numbers was Aug 31, 2023 - and interestingly, that was the highest volume day for several days on either side. Something to think about.

    Very close to being profitable. Revenue from sales is less (typically not a great indicator), but cost of sales is reduced as well as SG&A, so the business is more efficient. Hence improved overall.

    Cash position very similar to last year.

    All in all this isn’t bad result.

    Descressing sales is a concern, but hard to really understand without more detailed info. While it could mean your competition has taken market share, it could also mean better focus on more profitable products.

      People are also spending less as economic concern are in the air.

      Their cash reserves are now making decent returns on t bills, which is good while they are figuring out/working on the next play.

      I recently visited a store in a mall and it was not looking well. I wanted to buy physical used copies for console but selection was weak.

      I guess they will be e-commerce first company but I do have they update store format and continue to carry physical media. Its a niche market but I think gamers might trying to go back to disk in current SaaS bullshit environment.

    This quarterly result beat all analysts expectations. It was beyond amazing. If I’m not mistaken the sales from the last Zelda game are included in this quarter? I believe this might’ve pushed the numbers so high.

      They are better than expected but not beyond amazing. Still on the red, and must be sustainable. But seems to be on the right path.

        eh, 2 million in the red in this quarter is nothing. Means that Q3 will be positive and so will Q4. Focus on profitability now is the way.

          I like your positivity and its very likely but I need to see the numbers first, hence i am still holding.
