See what I added about best Buy financial results where they claim their sales AND profit growth was fueled was high growth in the video gaming market....

PS : If running your own store you were paying 48 to 52$ per game I have no issue at all believing companies like Best Buy or Gamestop can get them for 40$ or lower.( Best Buy is in a much better position to negotiate price and when you see a stand for a game in the middle of an alley it was actually paid for by the game distributor, not by Best Buy).
PS2 : Gamestop makes money of new games, the issue is they make a lot more of used games so it's not in their interest at all to stock a lot of new games....

That's what I said, though not in those same words. I had to deal with a distributor, who probably had a supplier that dealt with Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo. Big chains like BB, Walmart probably deal with Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo directly.

LOL kingofwale are you serious?

Stores don't make any profit on videogames yet it's one of the biggest rising markets in stores the last 10 years?

If what you say is true, then all smaller retailers who sell games would be out of business already. Hell, here in my town there are LOTS of stores that sell games ONLY and run a healthy profit.

You're full of BS, but you probably already know that.

This thread started as 360 price cut. WTF has it got to do with Wale's claims in retail. 360 Price cut right before GTA 4. Smart move Microsoft.

 It's called a loss leader.  Not every product on the sales floor makes money, dipshit.  This is true at grocery stores just as it's true at electronics retailers.

The keyword here for loss leader is "Product"... not "WHOLE F***ING DEPARTMENT"!!

 go work at a retail, or go interview a store manager and THEN make comments.

 How about we leave it at that? I have no time for mis-informed fanboys.
