I say this since used game sales represent a big chunk of their revenue. So I think Microsoft is offering them something in return for the lack of used games sales. |
Um... maybe not:
When asked about Xbox One's potential second-hand fee, Bartel said the information came "as a surprise" and declined to comment "on speculation."
"All that Microsoft has said so far is that they've designed the Xbox One to enable customers to trade in and resell games," Bartel said. "That's what I'm going with at this point. I think there's additional details they're going to reveal later on."
