I think owning a video game store is a great opportunity! You have a growing market (year after year), decent margins and a very rabid customer base of teens/young adults.
Piracy is one thing to take into consideration but piracy in video games have been around since conception. I would'nt focus alot of time worrying about that as many teens have alot of disposable income now. Plus the trend is to trade a game in after you are bored with it and use the money to buy a new one.
If you have a high traffic retail location in mind I think you can't go wrong
