If people are going to go to the Walmart to buy new games anyway, why wouldn't the indie store them as well? Even if the prices are a little higher, wouldn't the convenience of not having to go somewhere else make up for it?

They've told us it doesn't make up for it. The stores just walk down to the Wal-Mart themselves to pick up a couple copies of Halo 3 or whatever rather than actually working with a games distributor like Jack of All Games or whoever. They just can't compete on new games; that's why they do used, retro, and host tournaments and so forth.
