While it is true that Gamestop push sales of new software because naturally sales of both are needed to keep the gamers stocked with things to buy and sell... if your store has a used copy in stock bought from a customer for €5 and you can sell it for €30 or a copy from your supplier which cost GS €30 to sell for €35 surely you see where the bigger margin is here right? Also keep in mind that used stock is never something that a games store wants to build a stockpile of since it is constantly losing its value, the faster it is resold the higher the margin.

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

So, you'll damage every other gaming company regardless of the quality of work they put out...

if they put quality work on a nintendo platform, then id help them, sure. ive done this with titles such as deblob, no more heroes, madworld, etc. all they have to do is publish it on a nintendo system.

Curiously enough you don't see any reason why we think your are damaging others?

Not suggesting success with either campaign of yours here, but even if you were to be doing both sides successfully, increasing margin with one side of the business while decreasing it on the other doesn't make you a good employee of gamestop, you're still costing them money from the bottomline in what you are suggesting you did.
