The game retailer’s stocks take a plunge following the announcement of game deals by Wal-Mart.

New York (WiredPRNews.com) – GameStop stock took a plunge Wednesday amid the announcement of special discounts on popular games offered by retail giant Wal-Mart. As reported by the Associated Press (AP), Wal-Mart Store Inc. recently announced recent holiday promotions that could have a significant impact on game sales of GameStop.

Janney Capital Markets analyst Tony Wible is quoted by the AP as stating to investors in a note on the matter, “This news is clearly a negative for (GameStop) which generates the bulk of its sales during the holiday season and may be forced to reduce prices to stay competitive.”
