Ha! Gamestop and xbox are a couple man. Just go to their website and observe how xbox is always listed first.

 

Also, pay attention to their gamestop only deals...


Right! LOL Every Gamestop I have been to here in South Florida seems to favor Xbox more. It's cool, I just find it hilarious. I go in the stores and see a bunch of Xbox advertisements and 3rd party games. Hehehe Not saying every single Gamestop is like this, but the ones I've seen here are like that or seem to be.

I think they just promote what will sell to keep you from buying it elsewhere.


Microsoft pays for it's positions and space in the store. It works that way with most retailers.


Can you give me a link?

Well, they want to sell physical copies, so go after the one that is less run by digital sales.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

You can read about it there. I thought this was common knowledge.

Around here, you vvalk in first thing you see is XB1 stuff. From afar you see XB1 banners. Outside of a gamestop there is a massive Halo 3 banner still not taken dovvn. Behind it is PS4 stuff, then VVii U stuff. Vita stuff is next to the PS2 stuff. Stuff.

From what I've seen, Gamestop definitely favors XBox. Almost all the signs up front are of XBox games.

Yeah, I knew about this.  I just figured M$ had some kind of secret evil deal that the other companies didn't have.

 

Hey, thanks for the link.  You didn't have to find it but you did.  I appreciate it.
