The GameStop collective announced today that sales rose 5.2% to $1.7 billion, with profits of $46.7 million, in the third quarter ending November 1. Not that our future overlords are immune from the current economic crisis -- store sales were down 1.8% this year, as compared to the 46% increase during our last trip around the sun.

The company appears optimistic about weathering the current economic climate, as store sales increased in October by 11% and are up 20.5% in the first two weeks of November. Looks like the hive is going to be just fine during the fourth quarter.
