All is very logical, unfortunately ! Like the article was saying : "the relatively anemic launch line-up of both the Xbox One and the PS4" : then the most surprising was to learn that "each console moved a million units in a single day, and 3-4 million since" ! :o
And more : when you know how the first models of consoles tends to "wreck" pretty easily.. :(
But video games shops are often on the brink of disparearence, alas...

I have not purchased anything from Gamestop in years. I cannot stand the place. I buy almost everything from Amazon or via other online stores. I got tired of them trying to sell me opened games for the new game price, so I took my business elsewhere.

Since then, I have accumulated over 40 pages of game related purchases from Amazon. Oh well, that's money they will never see.

VISTABLADE : I can understand it ! I make the same here : only buying from Amazon or online stores (supermarkets are great too for certain games ! For a lot of them, I have found news 3DS games at very low prices compared to big video games shops like Gamestop ! (even if there is no Gamestop here in France).
