Gamestop apparently doing all it can to push customers away from Xbox One.

isn't the used games stuff on xbox one good for gamestop? it will bring a lot of used games sales from as example ebay to gamestop and game rental services won't compete with gamestop anymore.

sure, they would have to give some of the money to the publisher but i believe gamestop will still profit from that overall.

Not at all..DRM on the Xbox one with the azure system MS put in place Gamestops used game profit in danger, hence why their stocks dropped once everyone found out about MS plan initially.

but they will have a much bigger marketshare after that. many more people have to go to a gamestop now and many more would then also buy their new or used games at gamestop after they got money for their used games from that gamestop.

 

Nope...it actually renders buying used games pointless. Publishers and MS were trying to force DRM down our throats instead of making their pricing appropriate per game and becoming more competitive with how they make their games. Double Helix's Killer Instinct plan is an example of what I speak of, in which the game is free to play with Jago, but you can either buy the game full price or buy each character one by one. Thank goodness MS got slapped by the core audience because if they dont they will take advantage of not only us but the ignorant majority who MS will now depend upon.

If you guys remember my posts earlier about Gamestop, even though they played along and kept hush, hush about their feelings, I knew deep down inside they had a contingency plan to hike the price up of Xbox One used games on gamers so they could secure a profit on used games. Low and behold Angry Joe spoke about the same thing and I believe Jimquisition spoke about it as well.
