RadioShack - Image 1In what could be perceived as a move to boost sales, consumer electronics retail chain RadioShack has started selling video game consoles beginning with Microsoft's Xbox 360 and its much-anticipated title, Halo 3.

The news was confirmed by a Pacific Crest Securities analyst Evan Wilson and Arvind Bhatia of Sterne Agee & Leach, saying that RadioShack will indeed stock its shelves with the gaming console and Bungie's latest title.

The move indeed helped increase RadioShack's stocks by US$ 1.60 or 7.3 percent, scoring a total of US$ 23.66. With the upcoming video game frenzy this coming holiday season, there is little doubt that the sale of video game consoles will boost RadioShack's revenue.

Will the consumer electronics mogul eventually provide other consoles like the Wii and PS3? We certainly hope so; there's no doubt that there's going to be lots of gamer stockings that need stuffing this Christmas.

never bought anything at Radio Shack that didn't break, or wasn't broken out of the box. That includes, batteries, cables, alarm clocks, remote controlled cars and voice recorders. After the third time I stopped buying from them, but invariably every Christmas someone gets me a RS, barely working alarm clock that dies a week later.
