Topic: GameStop to begin turning away Xbox game trade-ins

As the undisputed king of second-hand game sales at retail, GameStop has long been known as something of a chop-shop in the industry. For gamers, it's a place to find tons of used games in a relatively convenient (though not necessarily cheap) way; for publishers, it's a dreaded source of evil secondary revenues that they can't have. An era has ended for GameStop's second-hand sales, though, as the company is preparing to cease trade-ins for original Xbox wares.

Re: GameStop to begin turning away Xbox game trade-ins

People were actually buying NES games though, they aren't buying Xbox titles. If there were money to be made Gamestop would not be bowing out of the market (which is actually a poor term since there's no market to bow out of). You can't blame a retailer for cutting ventures which are no longer profitable.
