GameStop Corp. announced sales results for the nine weeks ended January 5, 2019. For the period, the company reported total net sales of $2,628.7 million against $2,768.1 million for the nine-week period ended December 30, 2017. Total comparable store sales increased 1.5%, including a 3.6% increase in the U.S. partially offset by a 3.1% decrease internationally. Comparable store sales are calculated comparing the nine weeks ended January 5, 2019 to the nine weeks ended January 6, 2018 in order to ensure the appropriate weeks around the holiday are compared. The primary contributor to the difference between the increase in comparable store sales and the decrease in total company sales is the shift in the company's fiscal calendar for the 53rd week in fiscal 2017 and the timing of the Call of Duty launch.

For the fiscal year 2018, the company expects that comparable store sales are expected to be approximately flat for the fiscal year.
