Sony knows they need Gamestop and the other retailers so they can't ban used games. Unless they plan to cut retail out. But I don't think the world is ready for digital distro. |
Actually GameStop wouldn't be able to stop selling Sony products. If Sony takes away used games that cuts into full profit for GameStop. It wouldn't be a good buisness stratedgy for GameStop to just drop everything Sony. They would in turn lose even more money.
If I had to take a guess, if this is true, Sony will sell unlock codes or something similar to a Uplay passport to unlock the game. So places can still sell used games, but people will have to spend an extra 5-10 dollars to get it unlocked for their console.
