Link: GameStop looks beyond gaming with major push for mobile, Apple retail stores

Ars Technica reports news from brick-and-morter gaming retailer GameStop:

In a sweeping presentation to investors earlier this week, GameStop executives laid out plans to expand aggressively in the markets for mobile and Apple products while slightly reducing the number of storefronts devoted primarily to video games.

[…] Regarding Apple products specifically, Raines said, “We have spent a lot of time in Cupertino with Apple leadership and we have their support to grow Simply Mac.”

The possible ramifications for iOS gaming accessories such as MFi controllers are interesting. GameStop already carries a selection of controllers for iPhones and iPads. In light of this story, I’d expect that selection to expand.
