| The Fury said: Sorry, I wasn't as clear as i should have been. Yes, it is 13% of Gamestop's revenue but it's only Gamestop. I know more about the UK so as an example, GAME are one of only 3 major high street stores that do used games but they are the only one in the top 5 retailers to who sell games. All the supermarkets rank higher (from what I undertand) in game sales than CEX (used only) or Grainger Games (new and used) and they don't do used at all. Just a guess on now many % used games are compared to their new sales figures. More sales are good, competition would be better. |
Ahh I getcha. When you start getting into mixed markets you really start to open some crazy potential situations. As you mentioned earlier, used pricing is on a different platform in the UK vs the US. I only really know about the US market. To me, getting a used "new" (new: $60.00 launch game) game means paying $55.000 for it. That $5 difference to me isn't worth it if I know that the dev is getting none of that $55. If it were a $10 or $15 difference, it might move my needle a but.
