I would much rather you simply explain to me how Xbox is/was charging the used game retailers.
I watched the part he wanted to show.

Basically, it says that Gamestop is crying because currently on used game sales they take 100% of the profit. With Xbox One, Gamestop will send 45% to MS & 45% to the publisher leaving them with only 10% of the profits.

So the theory is that Gamestop will then have to charge higher prices for the used games than they already do in order to make the absurd amount of profit they currently do - which means that nobody will buy used games.

And they are crying about Gamestop's stock price plummeting with the announcement of Xbox One as if anyone should really care. They've been ripping people off for years on the cost of used games & trade in value.
