Photos show new version Xbox Series X without disk drive – Gaming – News

I thought I read somewhere that stores get 70% of the price and developers get 30%, but in the store it’s the other way around.

You really read that wrong, retailers earn a maximum of 15% to 20% on it. In addition, you have the production of the disc and the distribution + the share that Xbox/Playstation/Nintendo gets. The biggest difference is the inability to resell digital second-hand. That they earn less on disc than digital is true.

In addition, it makes no difference to Sony, Nintendo or Microsoft whether a third party publisher sells a game via disc or digitally. They earn exactly the same (30%).

Gamers continue to make more and more demands and games have to be bigger and even more over the top, but this also means that more needs to come in from developers

I notice that you very much put yourself in the company’s shoes, that is possible. But as a consumer I think it is more important that there remains competition on prices than that you are dependent on 1 store in an ecosystem. I’m not looking forward to that myself, if that is the future of consoles then I will switch to PC again.
