Retail giant Walmart is staking its claim on the billions of dollars to be made through used game sales, as it now lists preowned games on its site.

Used game sales and the game trade-ins that fuel those sales are a huge component of GameStop’s profits and other major retailers have taken notice.

Toys R’ Us has announced a trade-in program that takes games from all the way back to the Intellivision era. In contrast, GameStop only allows trade-ins of current generation games. Best Buy has started experimenting with selling new games at the same price point GameStop charges for used games.

Walmart’s selection and pricing on used games isn’t all that impressive yet but few companies have as much financial clout and retail experience. After the company really learns the in and outs of the used game sales market, GameStop and its competitors should be afraid, very afraid.
