I wonder how Gamestop will see 2011 given that Amazon are now accepting used games to buy in, and possibly at better rates...
How much does a retail outlet make per unit sold? I know they (retail) have to be making profit, else the product would not be sold...specially at work where employees get a commission from the sale (1%).

So a store has to make some profit, but how much? Probably like $20 or so per console?
