I disagree with your first point, but you are 100% right about you're last point. This means we are going to be getting fewer risky titles, and more CODs. The reason I disagree with your first point is that if you have two consoles that allow used games, which also allows playing games at a friends house and rentals, and one that doesn't, which do you think isn't going to sell. Sure, diehard MS fans won't care (and will even defend MS's decision), and will buy it no matter what. But, once the average gamer finds out that the NeXbox can't play used games and rentals, especially those who make a habit of using cash from selling games to by more games and/or rent games before a full purchase, then they are going to stay clear of that system. We'll have to wait and see what MS chooses to do. |
True, if the consoles decide to make that the big difference and there's no difference in game library or price, that certainly can be a deciding feature. I do wonder if tying oneself to your Live or PSN account won't overcome that though. The loyalty last gen went where the games were at, but this gen we have online accounts.
MS would be idiotic to insist on it if Sony isn't doing it.
