Not that I endorse this, but change just happens. Blockbuster is out of business because of netflix and consoles and cable boxes. Change leads to the erosion of once prominent industries.

except people don't buy netflix services from the blockbusters. microsoft needs retailers to sell their games, and severely reducing retailers profit isn't the best way to keep their support.

check what nintendo did for example: with the advent of download sales, ninendo started selling download codes for retailers so they can still profit from digital sales. that's how you get retailers support.

By retailers, you must mean Ebgames/Gamestop. They will have to downsize if they can only rely on new games sold, but it won't be the end of them.

Any major retailer would do though, Walmart, Bestbuy, etc. etc. And those have limited things like trade-ins but its no major loss to them at all if they had to cancel those programs.
