During the 13-week period to end January 29, 2022, the video game retailer saw sales increase slightly to $2.25 billion compared to $2.12 billion in 4Q 2021.
CEO Matt Furlong acknowledged the impact of supply chain problems in a conference call with investors.
"The combination of supply chain issues and the Omicron variant had a sizable impact on this past year's holiday season," Furlong told investors.
The firm is hoping to beef up its e-commerce presence and plans to launch a marketplace for non-fungible tokens, or NFTs, by the end of its fiscal 2Q 2022.
