To be fair, I could actually see it do decently.

It just can't do the same gigantic stores it used to. Instead, settling for store sizes maybe 1-2 typical restaurants in size, depending on the location. They can have a really big sign though.

There is probably some worth to continuing to sell video games, but they should only allot one isle to that (since just about everyone sells those anyway), and focus more on, well, toys.

Honestly, part of the reason it died market-wise is just down to kids wanting fewer physical toys these days. But the physical video game market was already napped up by places like Best Buy, dedicated video game stores, and even some more generic stores. Video games are also something that is easy to order online, since you can get a good idea of what they are like with just media and all (and nowadays you can also purchase them from the console stores and download them digitally as well).

All the while, Toys R Us didn't think that they needed to switch down to a smaller sized store. It was only a matter of time. That "leveraged takeover" or whatever was just the second cement shoe.
