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.
That's crazy it's dropped that low. I was a District Manager for that company about 4 years ago, and all of my stores (15) ran at least 27%; the the regional average (about 72 stores) was right at 30%.
