That didn't stop them saying they wouldn't buy a console that doesn't play used games prior to the XB1 reveal though.
Also, with Xbox game pass that means Gamestop is either gonna have to far offer less for trade-ins to compete, severely limit or stop buying used xbox games all together so their used game business is gonna take a big hit regardless. Would losing out on new sales which they don't make too much on be really that bad when it'd Scare Sony and Nintendo into avoiding doing the same?
True, they would lose even more money but they're gonna take a big hit anyways. Would taking a little bit of a bigger hit be worth it to send a message to Sony and Nintendo to back off and somewhat salvage what's left of the company? I think it would but I'm obviously no business man
Or should they just suck it up and accept it, then what if Nintendo and Sony follows suit? Gamestop is well and truly fucked at that point.
