Marks and Spencer looking at videogames to boost profits

It’s not surprising to see video games for sale in retail outlets that normally offer other products as well, such as Tesco, Asda or Marks & Spencer. Speaking of the latter,  Marks & Spencer is considering  increasing the amount of space that it normally allots for video games. The decision to actually do so, however, hinges on one important prerequisite.

In the mood for post-holiday video game shopping? You may want to check out the goods at Marks & Spencer in the near future, as the retailer has reportedly been considering increasing the amount of space that it normally allots to video games this year.

According to a Marks & Spencer spokesperson, an expansion of its game offering seemed like the obvious next step after the retailer’s earlier move toward offering technology and electrical products: “With our move into technology and success in electrical business the gaming market was an obvious addition to our range.”

Of course, it will still depend on the results of the Marks & Spencer’s internal review of the sector. Marks & Spencer currently sells video games and consoles via its gold technology stores and its online store.
