But it's not online to purchase either :lupe:
Cosco is a specialty store that has to offer discounts vs other retailers because people pay a fee to shop there.

Xbox apparently ain’t offering discounts right now, and 90%+ of software sales are digital games.

Makes very little economic sense for xbox and costco to be partners right now:manny:

Nobody buying games/hardware in store anymore.

This is another situation where yall will make it a big deal when xbox does it, then will do the “that was different” dance when all gaming hardware/software is inevitably removed from physical shelves.

Gamestop has been dying for over a decade now.

In here we pretending we don’t know the direction everything is going :stopitslime:
They aren't selling it online either. It's gone from the retailer entirely. Notice Nintendo and Sony remain for sale there. Not a coincidence.

It's kind of sad, Phil Spencer and his tenure destroyed the Xbox console

He wanted to bet xbox on gamepass and for that you dont need a console right??!?:manny: that's his decision to make the entire service mobile. so now retailers aint gonna carry the hard console for what?!

He could have done both, the worst thing he ever did was start promoting other things you can play gamepass on. He should have made console the 2nd priority and give benefits for playing on it over others. When your marketing is you don't need to buy our consoles, customers won't buy it.

Sure, then when they follow suit in the future you will say……”well that’s different”

The sony cult cycle of life :blessed:
I'm talking about what is happening right now and you're talking about hypotheticals that may or may not happen in the future.

If people were buying it Costco would be stocking it. They can use that space for something that sells.
