Dueling Fools: GameStop

How important is GameStop (NYSE: GME  ) to video game developers? Well, this summer, Take-Two Interactive (Nasdaq: TTWO  ) will release a game exclusively through GameStop. It will be for Microsoft's (Nasdaq: MSFT  ) Xbox 360, and another version will be out for PC gamers.

The cynic would point out that Burger King (NYSE: BKC  ) also put out some exclusive Xbox games over the holidays. True, but all this tells me is that GameStop is the Whopper of video game retailing.

GameStop has earned its place in specialty retail. It has also earned its way as a Stock Advisor newsletter recommendation. Will it earn its way into your portfolio, too? That's what this week's Duel is all about.

Steven Mallas is bullish on the company's prospects, while you can color Chuck Saletta bearish. Where do you stand? Grab your controller and get in the game, because that's what this Duel is about.  

Duel on!
