“It’s pure arrogance. Microsoft is beyond arrogant. It’s becoming like a task on The Apprentice where they just haven’t got a clue. To think every Xbox One owner will have a broadband connection – it’s unbelievable. Internet is cut off for loads of reasons – faulty connections, people not paying bills on time – it happens.

“The trade-ins for participating retailers sounds like it’s for larger retailers that have got the money.

“I don’t see the point of stocking Xbox One at the minute and customers are saying that even though they had the Xbox and the Xbox 360, they will go for the PS4 as it’s a gamer’s console, not a entertainment system. What the hell are they doing? Not everyone has internet. Some just want the game and not to play online. Those people are being ignored by Microsoft.

“Yet again it feels like Microsoft and publishers are still testing the water to see how far they can take this without causing a consumer revolt.

“In the good times a few years ago when revenue was healthy no one really mentioned the pre-owned market. Now that all publishers are feeling the squeeze they are grasping for any short-term solution they can find. If they do implement this there will be no winners and it's clear that customers are completely against this system.

Wow.
