its the same as sony as its up to them why the x1 is getting all the bad press is not right. sony has said that its policy on used games is also left up to the publisher


Yes, but look at this generation. Only EA, Activision, Capcom and sometimes Ubisoft made use of the DRM available. A lot of publisher won't use this, especially the Japanese ones. The Xbox One has it for every game, you know that beforehand.

A chance is better than nothing at all. That's why Microsoft is getting more heat for it. But to be honest Microsoft is not being critisized for this alone. There is the TV focus and always online thing.

yeah but do you honestly think that a company will have no used on system but not on the other so in the end there the same.

yeah i know about the other things but i think the tv thing will be fixed at e3 if they are true about it being just about games.  

and i think over time people will accept the online thing it may take awhile but i think ms will make it worth it in the end i could be wrong just my opion

That's like saying one person likes fish, so everyone has to like fish.  Just because Microsoft did it, does not make it obligatory for Sony to do the same.  

Just like that because Sony leaves it up to publishers, doesn't mean that publishers will actually go through with it.  Publishers already have the option to do so on the PS3 if they wanted to.  

Saying that all publishers are going to do it just because it's available is unrealistic.  Witcher 3 develoer, CD Projekt Red, has stated that they'll never use DRM because of the backlash they've had with Witcher 2 originally having DRM on it for the PC.  Rockstar stated that they they have no intereset in DRM.  There are a lot of small publishers that would be killed if they added DRM to their games.  They have small fanbases to begin with and you rarely see a lot of these niche games being sold used.

The only developers that I would think would ever use this used game policy is EA, Warner Bros, Activision, Square Enix, and Capcom.  I'd give Sega, Namco Bandai, and Koei a benefit of the doubt, but there's always the possibility as these three companies don't make the smartest decisions.

The thing is that x1s DRM is diff the a single game having DRM.  Most people probably hate drums because that company can't handle the server load of new players right away like what happened to sim city.  Ms can handle the server load because well there freaking rich beyond belief lol.  

So question say the very first game that DRM handled it perfectly it was if it didn't even have it.  Do you think people would still be this heated over it?

Also I ment was that I don't see a company saying no used games on x1 but yes to used on the ps4 it'll be a yes or no for both
