Walmart to start removing physical Xbox games in store starting with Starfield. Copies are going to be 0.03 cents
Xbox gamers:
Pc master race:
I guess it only sold kinda well on PC, and sales on Xbox consoles must be below 1 million globally (to the fans before jumping to the throat, think two minutes, if it had sold well Walmart would not take this decision)
Todd and Phil when thinking about the 10 million sales potential which were forecasted on PS5 and that they decided to let go

Jokes aside collecting physical copies of new Xbox games isn't very wise. It's not just because you can play the MS games on GP, it's also because it's getting more likely that the successor won't have a physical drive. At least Sony is continuing the support with stuff like offering a drive for new Slim models (even if it's crazy expensive).

Damn this really feels like the beginning of the end for Xbox game consoles with all the third party news and now removing physical games. 
Edit: if more stores start to remove/not stock physical games for xbox does that mean that the series X is going out of production soon?

These concerns are exactly why, if you're gonna get it, do it for three cents!

Do they ship to the EU? I'll buy a few hundred copies lol.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
It's not user buyable.

What time is it?
And because users weren't buying.

Can‘t wait for the upcoming sales report next month: Apparently MS sold a million copies of Starfield within 24h, huge success.

If you want to be a chump and support a future where you don’t own shit and they can take away what you pay for without warning, be my guest. You can leave the rest of us alone.
How about you can fuck off.

Lot of people in this thread seem to be enjoying the death of physical.

Signs of a healthy platform/s....I wouldn't be surprised if Series X was phased out this year they're obviously going 100% digital

I’d buy 2000 copies for $60
Resell each for $5 and make a cool $9,940 profit

They probably have an actual warehouse full somewhere and this is the easiest way to get rid of it. I'm sure they'd keep it with the regular XBX stuff if they had a normal amount of stock. A lot of buyers probably expected Skyrim and Fallout sales.I guess it only sold kinda well on PC, and sales on Xbox consoles must be below 1 million globally (to the fans before jumping to the throat, think two minutes, if it had sold well Walmart would not take this decision)

It is (will be) all xbox games with other platforms rumored to be also on the chopping block.

It will mean 3rd parties will need a bigger incentive to invest in the platform when an entire revenue stream is being phased out.
This would (theoretically) be great for Xbox 1st party games though as it will push more (precieved) value towards Gamepass if that's one of the only places you can actually play their titles.

Not happy with it. But it’s what it’s going to be.
I’ve not bought a physical pc game in 20 years. Do computers even come with disc drives anymore? My PC I built has a DVD drive, but it’s not plugged in. It’s a useless piece of hardware

Possibly not from a big box store though.

Sure will. Switch 2 will sell gangbusters and they will be stocking them.
