It would be devastating to gamestop if they allowed all of the other stores to take pre-orders while they are closed, even though they barely make anything on hardware or software sales it'll still be a lot of volume and they can sell things like extended warranties etc. Besides neither Sony or MS probably know how many units they'll have ready quite yet. In the past pre-orders didn't usually start until the week of E3.

I'm sure it will fine for online pre orders

Online does nothing for the retail stores, they need money brought in at retail as well, online only is better than nothing but they won't get as many online orders as they would online plus retail. Gamestop isn't like best buy where they sell appliances, televisions, home audio etc if they are't selling consoles and games they are sunk. Gamestop gets paid to display things for game companies too, those big displays you see in the stores aren't just something they put up because a company sent it, they get paid for it, it's part of the marketing. There are a lot of reasons why they'd want retail open for this and not just doing it through their website.

Personally I buy games digitally but I buy consoles from retail stores, I don't want to sit around and wait all day for a delivery that I could have picked up the night before.

So, what is in store for 2020?

This is a momentous year for Xbox, with our next-gen console paving the way for all our games and services to come together in even better ways. Here’s what 2020 looks like, just to start:

  • Our goal remains to launch Xbox Series X and Halo Infinite this Holiday
  • All 15 Xbox Game Studios teams are hard at work on next-generation games for Xbox Series X and Xbox Game Pass
  • The best development teams around the world are working hard to have their games ready to play on Xbox Series X this holiday
  • For PC players, we plan to support the community by making all our major releases at launch available with Xbox Game Pass for PC, including Halo Infinite, Wasteland 3, Minecraft Dungeons and of course, Microsoft Flight Simulator.
  • We have new updates and titles lined up for Xbox Game Pass for console and PC
  • We’re expanding Project xCloud into new countries and on new devices—and later this year Project xCloud and Xbox Game Pass will come together, enabling you and your friends to play together in more ways.

It is, but at least they are showing stuff before then. Also, I’ve heard it’s very early in July. Can’t confirm just yet though.
