During the most recent episode of the Microcast program, Chris Dring, president of the Gamesindustry Network, spoke about information he heard from an executive at one of the major publishing companies who told him that stores in the European market would stop restocking their stock of store copies of Xbox games. He heard this information at the end of last year.
The matter is related to the fact that a large percentage of sales on Xbox have become digital, and according to Dring, when comparing competitors to Xbox, the PlayStation and Switch are lagging behind in this regard. We have previously heard rumors about Microsoft supporting stores to encourage them to stop selling these copies, and it seems that these rumors are true and support seems to be important. It is possible that the profit margin from selling home appliances is not large, and in this case, most of the profits come from selling accessories.
