Not sure how this changes anything i said.

I never said they were a small retailer.
The #3 retailer in the US dropped their product as a business decision and you’re trying to spin that into being trivial.

If you ran Xbox would you rather the #3 retailer in the nation deemed your product worth carrying or not especially because they elected to drop it when they had carried it before?

Don’t have to twist in a pretzel you’d rather they carry it than not.

They are not an electronics store. The overwhelming majority of their revenue has nothing to do with electronics. The places that concentrate on selling electronics still sell xbox.

Thing is, Costco doesn’t constantly have any consoles in stock.

Like i said they are a specialty store. They only offer products that are unique to their store, or a unique discount.

The only playstation/switch consoles available at costco are unique discount bundles that costco has negotiated a good price for their store.

Xbox is not doing discounts and bundles right now, so they couldn’t come to an agreement for xbox products.

LOTS of successful elsewhere products are not carried by costco.

Breh what are you talking about specialty store? They sell damn near everything. This would be like Walmart or Target not having Xbox consoles for sale. It's a big deal, what's wrong with you admitting that? Hard headed ass nikka

95 specific products populating the produce section of the average warehouse,


Despite how enormous those warehouse stores are and how many products they pack in, they carry only around 4,000 SKUs (products) as opposed to the 30,000 SKUs found in the majority of supermarkets.

Costco only carries items they can buy in bulk and get a good discount on.

They are not like every other retailer.

As always, you weirdos are at odds with the truth, then wanna attack me for saying it.

It’s also still available in costcos around the world.

Trump tariffs made it so Costco and Microsoft couldn’t agree on a price.

That’s what they are doing, which is why they are not signing discount deals with Costco.

It’s not worth it to xbox to lose a bunch of money to sell a couple extra consoles.

:martin: and who's fault is it that no retailer breaking their backs to carry the physical xbox consoles now?!!?

It's not a good look losing one of the biggest retailers like that. Plus, here in Canada I've noticed retailers are showing less results when you search xbox.I think retailers know they can't move it at it's expected price. I feel if they're going to attempt next gen they might cut out retailers and sell directly to consumers.

Maybe they can return them or donate them to Dollar Stores?

Going to be awkward when the network support stops. Do you have to be online to play xbox games?

It’s their current business strategy.

Sony spends LOTS of money to win the console wars. They are undoubtedly losing money on those costco bundles. Thats their business strategy.

Xbox has half a billion users across all platforms, it doesn’t make business sense for them to lose billions trying to force some of those people to play on xbox.
