Sony makes it easier than Microsoft for buyers of its new console to trade in used games, but it may not be enough to save GameStop.
GameStop (GME 7.58%) appears initially to have caught a break with Sony (SONY 1.10%).
Unlike Microsoft's (MSFT 0.37%) restrictive Xbox One, where publishers will have more say in the way that their games are or are not able to be transferred between players, Sony made it a point on Monday night to emphasize that PS4 buyers will be able to trade in, sell, or lend their disc-based games.
It may not be enough, as longtime Fool contributor Rick Munarriz points out in this video.
