Each EB Games is supposed to have thirty to fourty percent of it's total sales made up by used games, but none of the stores break past five to ten percent at most.

Edit: Basically what I'm saying is that EB/Gamestop isn't really killing the industry. If they sold a larger percentage then sure, but as it stands now, they're not really different than your Wal-Marts, Best Buys or Future Shops.
Minch takes a comment that was a swipe at the game industry attitude of damage to the games industry and turns it into a lecture as though they were in any way my real feelings on the matter.

Hooray predictability.
