There's no way that retailers will accept eating such a huge chunk of the sale just for the privilege of selling the games used. I'm sure it'll be WAY smaller for them, so as to strangle private sales and force people to go to the big stores.
The notion that they expect such a fee to be applied across the board makes the rumor seem highly suspect. |
When faced with giving away a piece of royalty.......or blocking all used game sales entirely......it is a easy choice to make IMO.
This is great news because it makes used game sales income go back into the industry, rather then just benefit the retailer.

Except for the part with whoever trades in that game gets next to nothing for it, since the retailer gets next to nothing for its resale.

lol that is no different from todays trade in values. The retailer will still make money, just less. Its basically still pure profit for them, again just less profit margin then before
|
I stick to a one game policy with my ps3, typically it is the show, I got $28 bucks for it, having already gotten bored with this years iteration.
So if this is all true and I trade it in, if Gamestop is only going to make $3.50 on their resale of the game, how much would they give me?
(Put that $$ towards Last of Us btw)

You get $28 for it, but they could sell it for $50 if they see fit. I don't know the royalty fees and all, but profit is still profit.
This is the retailers problem, not yours. Stop making problems that aren't your own, your own. If true, the gamer can officially scratch used games off the Xbox One cons list.
Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.
