Also, that reporter needs to look at "reports" with a more discerning eye.

This part is wrong: "Earlier this week, we heard reports that Gears of War: Judgment undersold by a pretty large margin. With only 425,000 units sold in its opening month,"

haha yeah, not sure who has less clue in this industry, analysts or journalists but one is for sure, that's really an industry where many people really don't know what they are talking about.

What the heck? I've never seen anything like that. Even somewhat old games are usually like $5. There has to be some kind of reason. Could it really be that no one is keeping the game and the company Amazon partners with for trade-ins is flooded? Hard to believe. Why aren't there any used copies for sale? Something doesn't add up.

I'm thinking some kind of glitch with the automatic price setting software. Something isn't right, as there are usually dozens of used copies on offer.

19 used copies

i think they would give you 25 or so and it's an error.

€dit: you probably meant used from amazon so forget this post.

No, you're right, but what I mean is from the main Judgement page.  The used copies should be linked from "More Buying Choices", as with every other game.  http://www.amazon.com/Gears-War-Judgment-Xbox-360/dp/B002I0H2AG/ref=br_trade_img_B002I0H2AG_1?pf_rd_p=1534301342&pf_rd_s=center-9&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_i=979418011&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1YSW5XXMN1YF99Y12A9F

There is definitely an error.  Trying to list one for sale results in this message--"IMPORTANT MESSAGE:
 **Please note: The item for which you have attempted to create a listing is a restricted item."

Epic really milked that franchise to the bitter end. How much trade in value has GOW:A ?

 

Edit: I see 36 Dollar, doesn't look good for Gears.

Yep, Gears was milked to death compared to a series like God of War.

Yes its probably an error but maybe Amazon calculates an automatic price based on current stock and demand. Maybe they just have too much copies in store and not many people buy new ones and thats why they don't give much for an used copy ?

Stop assuming things. I never said  God of War wasn't milked  aswell. I think both franchises should go on a break. 

 

Thats why I asked the price of God of War both franchises were milked and both released new spin offs at the same time so I wanted to see if GOW was in a similar situation on Amazon.

 

Don't be so paranoid, not everybody is a soldier in the great console war.

Oh bullshit. What you were doing was pretty transparent.

A reasonable response is calling it a mistake. You bringing God of War into the discussion, its obvious what you're doing.

I'm pretty sure that's supposed to be $25 not 25 cents lol.

That is why i posted a comment at the beginning saying it has to be a typo because i don't see how it can only be 25 cents a copy. I think you are right on $25 because that sounds way more reasonable than 25 cents
