A windfall is when you receive income unexpectily. Most US tax paying individuals will receiving between 300-600 USD (1200 if married plus 300 per additional child ) this May.
What incentive/s can retailers (like gamestop) offer to lure people to spend the money on videogames (in gamestops case, their stores) rather than other goods/services next month and how will that drive sales?
I believe that gamestop can offer higher trade in bonuses for games and offer buy 2 get 1 free on used games.
As for consoles, the boot will be:
low estimate ~ 1-3%
high estimate ~ 5-6%
