You wrote yourself: A new console for 499$ or an used Pro/X with almost the same visuals for 249$

And I also wrote $200 - $300 depending on the model and condition... a 3 - 6 months old Xbox One X with a second controller could still be sold for $300, why not?

We also don't know the prices of the PS5 / Xbox Two... if they only cost $399 instead of $499 then your suggested $100 - $200 for a used pro/X would be enough to bring down the upgrade costs of the early adopter to $200 - $300.

If they cost $449 instead of $499 then $150 - $250 for a used Pro/X (depending on their condition) would be enough to bring down the upgrade costs of the early adopter to $200 - $300.

Afaik Gamestop sometimes buys consoles for 50$ and resells them for 250$. But in any case if they sell a used console for 249$ you can bet your ass they didn't pay over 200$ for it, probably more like 150$ or less.

Afaik you don't need Gamestop to sell your used console. There are much more profitable ways:

People who sell their PS4 Pro or xbox One X for less than $150 aren't the sharpest knives in the drawer.
