Ana sayfa / Games

Children of the 90s grew up with game tapes. The legend, which started especially with Atari, later turned into game CDs that were inserted into the home computer. Unfortunately, sad news came for boxed game CDs, which are now attracting more attention from collectors. According to the statement made by Xbox, the boxed game/CD era in consoles is coming to an end. Here are the details…Xbox: Physical games (boxed/CD) are not stocked by European suppliers!We have readers who remember the era of physical play. Especially the figures that big game manufacturers give along with their game CDs are unforgettable. It is not known whether it was the quality of the games released at that time or just the difficulty of accessing the games, but many things were more enjoyable, that’s for sure.A statement made by Xbox left the players very upset. The console maker says European suppliers no longer stock boxed games. In other words, these businesses stated that they were waiting to finish the stocks of the boxed games they bought in the first place and then did not order new products.

When sellers, suppliers and intermediary companies are asked the reason for this problem, the answer is quite short and clear: low sales. Yes, boxed games are very enjoyable, but the audience that buys these products is now quite limited. Users mostly prefer to purchase and download games via the cloud.

When we look at the basics, this situation is actually normal. Not every user thinks like collectors or connects with games as much as they do. We should also add that the versions of the consoles without CD inputs are sold at more affordable prices. There are also “storage and space capacity” problems caused by purchasing all games on CD. Finally, there are also problems such as scratching these CDs.

So, what do you think about retailers’ stock of boxed games/CDs for Xbox gradually decreasing and not being preferred? Don’t forget to share your opinions with us in the comments section.
