no.

A) wiiU.  B) regardless of what rumors may or may not have said MS first official statement was "used games at participating retailers".

Hes referring to next gen consoles. Everyone including the media has chosen to not refer to the Wii U as next gen even though it is. I cannot fathom why? But yeah. 

B) Microsoft told Gamestop to accept the azure network which lets them and third parties profit off of their games. The DRM was going to be imposed on every used game until the fans bitched. This caused Gamestops stocks to drop as soon as it was announced. MS changed their tone and stated that its up to the developers later on to sound exactly like Sony, because Sony has never changed their stance or wording since February that there will be no DRM on the console. Because of the fears of what Microsoft had imposed Sony had to keep the same answers a thousand times to take down anyones fears of a secondary console with the same library having similar issues and thankfully there was no DRM, but if third parties wanted to involve themselves then so be it. Microsofts system inititally was going to be the DRM itself and was also going to take a cut of Gamestops money on second hand games.

now read what you wrote to B)  then re-read jimmy's statement.

      "this system is the only one where you can still play used games" ~jimmy
      "we support used games, we don't require an internet connection" ~cerny

misinformation.  xbone is more restrictive, but is can still play used games.

I think thats what Jimmy meant. He misworeded it, but yes. Jimmy is a gamer so I am sure he caught wind of the bag gaming press that MS has been getting.
