| Ruler said: Why not giving your money to every Japanese Company? I dont understand whats so magical for people like OP about Nintendo which you cant get anywhere else from Japanese Devolopers? Resident Evil 5 was one of the best games from last gen imo, to treat like this is pretty disgusting OP. |
resident evil 5? really? lol.

That's the very definition of damaging others... you were going out of your way to try and push the customers to your decision. And even playing against the interests of the company you worked for. |
im still not convinced that its actually damaging people. im giving them the option and theyre the ones making the decision on what they feel is right for them. lol. and it didnt play against the interest of the company i worked for. GS benefits from used sales and i pushed a ton of used sales. in fact, i was probably better at it because i had an actual reason to push used sales: to make sure nintendo gets more profit than the competition.
I haven't given nintendo money since game cube when I bought 1 game new. Since then, all have been used. I have a used Wii, mario galaxy, zelda TP though to be fair, I bought those very late in the gen because they were cheap.

lol.. no, i actually did that. i tried convincing some of my coworkers to do it too. i was so proud when one of them swayed the customer into buying a new copy of punch out instead of a used one. using the simple technique of just asking them if they wanted a new one for "only" 5 dollars more. |
It was 7 to 9 years ago and you still are so proud about it working one time with this copy of a game? That really makes me think just how much success you had with pushing your plans to make people give more money to Nintendo, if you have 1 success that sticks in your mind almost a decade later. Probably ended up putting more people off Nintendo games trying to sway them to pay more for the games.
I mean think of what you would be doing in a bigger picture... now I'm not going to go into this in too much detail just the very light parts of
(this is all based on if what the OP was suggesting he was doing was actually happening, more than 1 time 9 years ago, I'm not crediting OP with having any success which would have caused this to happen!)
- you were lowering the number of games Nintendo players as a whole are buying, lowering the amount of games which they actually experience and the total number, while increasing the game numbers being sold on the rival systems, if you are just talking about 30 euro games for example for every 210 euro spent on gaming your Nintendo gamer gets just 6 games in the store, rather than the 8.4 ps/360 games which go out the door - unhappy customers with less games to play for the same money. (And this is the era of the Wii/360/PS3, the Wii gamer was already getting a lot less bang for their buck.)
- you are trying to lower the number of pre-owned Nintendo products which gamestop sells... I know you were 17-19 but seriously, you surely understood that GS makes 100%+ profit margin on Pre-owned titles right? where as on new sales they make as little as 5-10% in doing what you (imagined) were doing you would have been lowering gamestops profit coming in from Nintendo related product, when a store makes less profit from something you know what they do with it? I'll give you a hint, it isn't pump more money into it because Gamestop would like Nintendo to make more money, it is to lower its shelf space and give that space to the systems which make GS the most cash.
Just like... those points alone are as many keystrokes as I'd be willing to spend on this I think, if the fact that you are causing the gamers you would rather be happy and content with their choice of products are getting less games and the store which sells the games you love would have less interest in stocking/selling those products doesn't get through to you then nothing really will I fear.

I love giving Nintendo my money too! I went so far as buying a White Wii U and buying 500gb of digital content despite not getting the deluxe digital promotion. Nintendo can keep the extra ten percent as a tip from me!

Hell yeah Resident Evil 5!

I understand. I go to Wal-Marts and retail stores in my area and tell people to buy the Xbox One version of games instead of the PS4 version. They usually call me a ******, but that won't deter me from continuing my pursuit.

i was 18 when i first started working there, and i didnt start using this tactic until at least a year into working there. graduated my highschool valadictorian by the way. with 11 AP classes. so yeah, i was hot shit back then. |
Righto, I do think every teen thinks that they are hot shit tho, that is part of what the hormones will do for you. Like I said tho, high school grades aside, I'm still not sure how much weight the suggestions of a teen working at gamestop would have on customers.
