so here is what i got out of this...

you are telling everyone to discredit a rumor based on another rumor.

you are telling everyone to stop jumping to conclusions because you've jumped to a different conclusion.


i'm sorry but i fail to see how your speculation is any more valid then someone else's speculation. we'll know soon enough but all i see in this thread is a pot calling a kettle black..


What I'm saying is people are not thinking. Not that i'm right on my judgement.

1.  People saw always on and jumped to a conclusion which could be a number of different things.  Still the way it was worded sounds to be Sleep Mode.

2.  People saw installs and jumped to a conclusion.  Now this oculd potentiolly block used game sales but let's not forget installs on PS3.  It could be a number of different things so once again it is a conclusion and until you hear MSFT say something about it, all it is is journalist getting hits on websites.

Speaking of blocking used games, do you think publishers and develpoers wont choose to block them on PS4?  If they truly have a choice, then A LOT of games will be blocking used games.  Specially EA and Ubisoft.

3.  Used game sells blocking used games could actually lead to success for MSFT, Sony, Publishers, and developers.  Dont be surprised to either see exclusive deals or both MSFT and Sony blocking most used games.  People saying it is dooming them isnt thinking that one all the way through. 


4.  The only thing that could really hurt MSFT is always online.  That is because a lot of people dont have internet to do that.  It is doubtful that they are doing always online.  


Hoevever people need to start thinking about the whole picture and stop buying into every rumor that they see.  If you know how journalism works then you should know 1 rumor turns into 100's because every journalist will go and write about the same story and twist words around.    

Your points are valid but i think its the way you are putting them across thats rubbing people up the wrong way. These are rumours and people will draw their own conclusions, just as you have. 

I dont mind that Im rubbing people the wrong way.  People are not thinking things through as usual and just jump to conclusions regardless of the overall picture.

Anyways i'm not saying I'm right or wrong because really i dont know just like everyone else.  What I do know is that used games being blocked most certainly does not spell doom when in fact it is the opposite.
