But now, big console makers are planning new offerings, which GameStop hopes will reinvigorate the industry. Given how long gamers have had to wait for a PlayStation 4, pent-up demand should lead to vigorous sales, and that in turn should give GameStop Corp. (NYSE:GME) a much-needed lift.

MetroPCS Communications Inc (NYSE:PCS), up 34%
In the fast-moving mobile revolution, the prepaid service that MetroPCS Communications Inc (NYSE:PCS) has traditionally relied on seemed backward by comparison. But when No. 4 network player T-Mobile made a bid for the company back in October, the company suddenly gained the prospect of becoming a major player in the industry.

After some restructuring, it looks as if the deal will go through, despite some opposition from hedge-fund investor John Paulson. The result will be a much larger MetroPCS Communications Inc (NYSE:PCS), and although the company will still have to find a viable niche in the U.S. market, it will have a lot more capacity to do so.

What lies ahead?
These four stocks have gotten a second chance at success. That doesn’t mean they’ll have a prosperous future handed to them on a silver platter, but with a fair shot, the four companies look a whole lot better than they did a year ago.
