oh for forgets sake would you kids just loving read.
I'm not using monopoly in the context of a certain business within a market being the only business in that market.
I'm using it in a context of a certain type or business having its hands in two markets, therefore having control of the prices.
Please, before you argue a loving point, know what you are talking about.
Now, if you cannot understand that, please dismiss the rest of what I'm going to say, exit this thread, and then either educate yourself and come back, or don't do either.
GameStop, and any other game retailer that deals in both used and new games markets, have the ability to price both new and used games. This means, because they make more money from used games (this is proven, suck my richard if you think otherwise), they are going to push for used games as their major sales. That's why every time you buy a new game they offer you the used version.
When they buy games for so low, then sell for near manufacturer price, manufacturers start looking at the fact they can be making more money, so they increase the price. It's a never ending cycle of games going up in price, why do you think Microsoft originally wanted to forget up the used game market? Because all it's doing is hurting them as a company.
If there were two different retailers for new games and used games, this would never be an issue.
