Thanks, I knew someone bought them, but not that they were selling other goods now. They must be doing fine if they go for something like this.

Still, opening this kind of store is, in my humble opinion, a bad idea as you're aiming at only half the market at best.

It just doesn't make sense.

Now, I'm not saying this is a bad move but surely it would be better for MS to open a store themselves advertising their products and have all these features as well as in the back having a few laptops to sell too. If they want to compete with Apple, make Apple like stores themselves.

It makes perfect sense, if you think that the only reason they are doing this is because they've been paid to by MS. MS say: "Here's the money to open and first years rent.", Game say: "Thanks." and do as they are asked.

Which still raises the question why MS don't do it, unless they don't want to go through the effort of doing it themselves when a known retailer can be paid to do it for them.

Microsoft does have stores like these.

They do? Cool, where?
