What profitable product would you put in that shelving space? I already stated that the idea is that they buy other items that are profitable. As I already stated, that's what "loss leader" or "traffic generator" means. Even if they didn't, you're making one critical mistake by assuming that the people who run these companies, the people who are at the very top, are all intelligent and know exactly what is going on throughout the company. What do you want me to do, break confidentiality agreements by posting detailed unit price/cost data on the Internet, then linking to it? Companies don't just casually post this stuff. You're taking your gut feelings, and arguing with our combined 20 years of experience. I have the data directly in front of me as I'm writing this. I'd continue to debate this, but I don't see any point. Either you're interesting in learning more, or you've decided that these companies make a killing off of these games, and your mind isn't open to the facts. I'm moving on. |
i never once said they make a killing. I said they make money. you said they make no profit or lose money. I do not see that happening as i do not see gamers buying enough other items to offset that, it would be a bad loss leader item. Unless you disagree with that. When you go buy games what else do you buy with them?
