You probably already know that selling new release video games online is only viable if:

i. you have substantial financial backing to buy directly from the publishers and
ii. can sell in large volumes through an existing customer base or innovative distribution model (for example, a game exchange platform).

There is a lot of competition in the video games market. Large video game retailers in particular, like Game.co.uk and Amazon.co.uk, offer near cost prices for new releases. They do this to take advantage of the sudden increase in demand for the newly released video game; they attract customers, who then tend to buy other items which bear a higher profit margin for the retailer. In essence, they use new releases as marketing tools more than profit making products.

If your funds are limited, you are better off taking advantage of arbitrage opportunities between websites (eg buy on Amazon, sell on eBay). Online retailers like Amazon, Game and Play tend to reduce video game prices for a very short period of time, to attract more customers. If you can recognize those reductions that are only temporary, you can buy the game at a discount, wait that the retailer stops offering the video game at a near cost price, then list the item on Amazon itself or eBay to net the difference between the discounted price and the new higher price.
