GN Version 3.1

The following information comes from GameStop’s Chris Petrovic…

- most used-game sales have nothing to do with recent releases
- 97% of used-game sales at the retailer fall “outside of the new-release categorization”
- half of used game sales are for the PlayStation 2
- average age of a used product purchased is three years
- “no material evidence” that Project Ten Dollar is having an impact
- GameStop is better suited to upselling DLC in-store than other retailers
