The future of Kingston’s Game video stores has been called in to doubt after their head office was forced to meet with lenders to discuss financial difficulties 
significant decline in sales for the chain of videogame stores over the Christmas period.
Game Group declared a drop in total sales of 18 per cent in the eight weeks leading up to 7 January in the UK and Ireland.
Videogame developer Dan Marshall, founder of Norbiton based company Size Five Games, said: “I think [consumers are] mostly moving toward Internet-based purchases, or skipping boxed products and getting digital-only versions of games.
“It’s only a matter of time before the idea of selling games in boxes will feel outdated and preposterous.”
