When you push new instead of used for Nintendo you aren't helping GS as you say you are.

dot. 

i push used instead of new when it comes to ps3 and 360. ive stated this numerous times.

Which made PS3 and Xbox games more profitable for your employer than Nintendo games... which could result in less shelf space for Nintendo games (bad for Nintendo) and lower purchase prices for used Nintendo games (bad for your Nintendo customers) in the long run.

We have a saying for that hier in Germany: "jemandem einen Bärendienst erweisen" (to do somebody a disservice).

ive already debunked this point earlier in the thread.


That was a fast edit after you made this post heh... but would you mind pointing to the post where you "debunked" it, because I think I missed it. Not sure how you could suggest that lower profit from Nintendo games could encourage Gamestop to invest more in their games.

Could well just have missed the post tho, fairly busy thread here.

bolded: haha, i dont know why, but i typically do that. ill post something, and then edit it immediately after because a better/funnier way to express what im trying to say occurs to me. 

ill just debunk it here again. selling nintendo games new instead of used isnt going to result in less shelf space for nintendo. GS needs games to sell new, and its often that people trade in their old games for a new one. (the new and used market depend on eachother.) when new Nintendo games run out, GS will just order more and ill try my best to get through that stock again so they can order more, thus giving more money to nintendo. when a new game is about to come out, i push preorders for that and try to get GS to buy as many copies from nintendo. that doesnt reduce shelf space, that increases the space they need to order all these games. furthermore, in GS's eyes, these new sales of nintendo games are being fueled by trade ins, which they obviously love.

I would agree with it being funny.

But you've yet to suggest why your store would be earning more profit from Nintendo console games, in fact if you were suggesting that people were buying these new copies of games by trading in games for the consoles they had (presumable Nintendo titles) which you would then go on to suggest customers did not buy in place of more new copies of games instead.

If a company pays money to a supplier for goods, and then you exchange those goods for an item you are not pushing to your customer, how much profit does the company make from the goods it is buying from the supplier? Like I said as well, a company like Gamestop or anywhere which deals in second hand gaming will never want to stockpile used software, it drops in value so fast, it has to be turned over quickly or it is more loss again.

 

 

Edit - I must add, this is only if the sales ploy of a teenage gamestop employee worked, I'm not in the least bit saying that it had any effect on the games the store sold, just that what you intended to have happen, would be bad for Nintendo in the long run, not good.

your edit: yes, we are discussing the logical conclusion of what i was trying to accomplish. ive understood that. 

as for your point: ah, but this is where the beauty of it being nintendo comes in. yes, you want a quick turnover of used products because it drops in value very fast. i know that you know this isnt the case for nintendo. mario party 8, for example, still sells for 40 dollars used. call of duty, on the other hand, does not. and again, i have to mention that i was very motivated to quickly get rid of used games for the other systems, so i was helping GS, i mean, thats all there is to it. 

to be clear, they werent always trading in games when this was happening, im just saying that it isnt uncommon.

If you truly love just giving Nintendo money regardless of the product you receive in return, why don't you just randomly add funds to you eShop account? That way, you give Nintendo as much money as you want, and you get literally nothing in return.

do you guys think you have me beat with nintendo purchases? id be surprised.

 


Could be. How many amiibo do you have, 3DS games, N64 games, pokemon merchandise, Wii U games, etc?

i have every amiibo except two i think. i have probably 60 3ds games, almost every n64 game, almost 50 wii u games. anything else?

edit: oh you said etc, ok, 150 wii games, 300 nes games, 200 snes games, 250 gc games, probably like 200 ds games, 100 gba games, a bunch of GB games. i dont know, these are rough estimates, i havent counted in forever.i have a bunch.

Well I have every N64 game, including 5 Japanese games. I own 113 Wii U games, 50 plus 3DS games, nearly every amiibo as well. 250 GC games would be amazing! Do you have a picture? Not too many people on this planet would have that. Wii games I only have about 60 though. I never enjoyed that system.

I have post my collection a few times on this site.



ill post mine at some point. im waiting for the right time. i would have more nintendo stuff but i do collect for other systems. 

as for GC, i have about 80 of them complete and the rest are just the discs by themselves. i also have a very high standard when it comes to collecting games. i often buy brand new original cases to put them in and all my boxes for n64 and snes are mint. most of them anyway. i would have more stuff, but my standard is through the roof. no torn labels, no scratches on the disc, no markers. all my games work, etc.

Well he will get the same amount of content he is getting with locking his games unopened. And Nintendo margin would be even bigger.

When you keep your games unnopened I can see why.
