Update: To clarify how this works, it’s extra credit. Since the 32GB Wii U is trading in for $120, you could earn another $75 if you’re a Pro member, meaning $195 in total.

Original: GameStop, along with many other retailers, will begin taking Switch pre-orders tomorrow. If you have an old system lying around, you may want to trade it in for credit that can be used to reserve the new console.

Those with a Power Up Rewards Pro membership can save $75 on Switch pre-orders when trading in a Wii U, PlayStation VR, PS4, or Xbox One. If you’re a regular customer, you can earn $50.

Alternatively, GameStop will accept a Wii / 3DS and will provide $30 if you have a Power Up Rewards Pro membership. These two systems provide $20 without a subscription.

Over 4,500 developers participated in the Game Developers Conference’s fifth annual State of the Industry Survey. The results are now published in full, revealing some optimism for Switch.

50% of participants believe Switch will outsell Wii U. 37% weren’t ready to make a guess, while the remaining 14% believe it’ll perform worse than the previous console.

Developers were also asked whether Switch’s feature of being a hybrid portable/home console would catch on with the public. Those results are as follows:

– 19% strongly agreed it would
– 11% said consumers wouldn’t care
– 48% suggested they might
– 23% indicated they didn’t know how it would be received

Perhaps the one bit of concerning news is that just 3% of surveyed developers are working on Switch games. That’s just slightly above Wii U’s 2%.
