Forums - Microsoft - Gamestop apparently doing all it can to push customers away from Xbox One.

I honestly can't blame them for trying to get people to buy a console that will benefit them in the long run. I heard some game stores would not even sell the PSP go when it came out because they would see no revenue from game sales.

As one who is purchasing a PS4 at launch, i would prefer more people to buy the PS4 over the Xbox One.

Wow, Gamestop's actually doing something good?



well gamestop will be the next blockbuster... they will go bankrupt with or without MS policies.... and I'm fine with that.... they are worst crooks than any DRMs or no resale policy can be....



You praise the greed of GameStop but are the opposite for MS? Lol...



If true I cant blame them. I told you all there would be some backlash...theres no way they would take this sitting down from MS.

It wouldn't surprise if every game retailer in the world did this. Xbox One could ruin them



Xbox Series, PS5 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

MS said they knew they the features might be unpopular but they are trying to force digital down peoples throats. They want to take away game ownership and lock in full licensing and DRM and backpeddled the second the net blew up. Yusuf even admitted that the majority of Xbox prospects who arent on the net are probably ignorant and will buy it in other words. He was interviewed by CNN. I felt like slapping him for saying shit like that. Thats taking advantage of peopl who dont know their rights. Stupid dick.

 

An article said it best when they pointed out that MS will drag consumers to primary digital media kicking and screaming. Just goes to show how strong their non-gaming aspirations are. Yusuf needs to stop alluding to videogames in the same context as Netflix, because netflix values physical media above digital, its just that they use digital media as the base for all the cheap movies and then reel you in to upgrade by choice if you want the DVD's and Blu Rays of newly released flix.

Sounds just the government doesn't it? They are both keeping people ignorant deliberately to achieve their interests

isn't the used games stuff on xbox one good for gamestop? it will bring a lot of used games sales from as example ebay to gamestop and game rental services won't compete with gamestop anymore.

sure, they would have to give some of the money to the publisher but i believe gamestop will still profit from that overall.

"you want to buy or sell used games? gamestop is your place"



I will laugh so hard if that PS4 rumor about developers having choice to implement DRM happens,

Then there will be a backlash from gamers to Gamestop for recommending the PS4 cause it has no DRM.

Personally i am going to wait 3 months to see what happens with both consoles jsut to be save.
