Video game console hardware spending also peaked in 2008.

I wonder how many people who think physical game sales are still good would open up a video game store.
Yet it remains the largest industry of entertainment in the entire world now, even more so than music/movies & TV combined. They(gaming publishers) sold the lie that moving to digital would reduce costs & save customers money & it doesn't unless you just wait for the normal fall off in price that's been happening for decades. Opening a store with a single font of income is a bad idea for an item depending on if the good is elastic or inelastic as well obviously.

Video games are incredibly elastic, you're asking for losing money which is why most today split between media, consoles, toys & extra add-ons, plushies & things like that alongside it.
