When you push new instead of used for Nintendo you aren't helping GS as you say you are.

dot. 

i push used instead of new when it comes to ps3 and 360. ive stated this numerous times.

Which made PS3 and Xbox games more profitable for your employer than Nintendo games... which could result in less shelf space for Nintendo games (bad for Nintendo) and lower purchase prices for used Nintendo games (bad for your Nintendo customers) in the long run.

We have a saying for that hier in Germany: "jemandem einen Bärendienst erweisen" (to do somebody a disservice).

ive already debunked this point earlier in the thread.

That was a fast edit after you made this post heh... but would you mind pointing to the post where you "debunked" it, because I think I missed it. Not sure how you could suggest that lower profit from Nintendo games could encourage Gamestop to invest more in their games.

Could well just have missed the post tho, fairly busy thread here.

bolded: haha, i dont know why, but i typically do that. ill post something, and then edit it immediately after because a better/funnier way to express what im trying to say occurs to me. 

ill just debunk it here again. selling nintendo games new instead of used isnt going to result in less shelf space for nintendo. GS needs games to sell new, and its often that people trade in their old games for a new one. (the new and used market depend on eachother.) when new Nintendo games run out, GS will just order more and ill try my best to get through that stock again so they can order more, thus giving more money to nintendo. when a new game is about to come out, i push preorders for that and try to get GS to buy as many copies from nintendo. that doesnt reduce shelf space, that increases the space they need to order all these games. furthermore, in GS's eyes, these new sales of nintendo games are being fueled by trade ins, which they obviously love.

I would agree with it being funny.

But you've yet to suggest why your store would be earning more profit from Nintendo console games, in fact if you were suggesting that people were buying these new copies of games by trading in games for the consoles they had (presumable Nintendo titles) which you would then go on to suggest customers did not buy in place of more new copies of games instead.

If a company pays money to a supplier for goods, and then you exchange those goods for an item you are not pushing to your customer, how much profit does the company make from the goods it is buying from the supplier? Like I said as well, a company like Gamestop or anywhere which deals in second hand gaming will never want to stockpile used software, it drops in value so fast, it has to be turned over quickly or it is more loss again.

 

 

Edit - I must add, this is only if the sales ploy of a teenage gamestop employee worked, I'm not in the least bit saying that it had any effect on the games the store sold, just that what you intended to have happen, would be bad for Nintendo in the long run, not good.
