The problem being that Sony might doing something similar and are keeping quiet about this as well.

Good point, where is Sony?

They should be boasting about not doing this.

Actually that's not not a point at all.

Why would they? They already stated their take on used games, always on etc. So the same could be asked about Nintendo, why are they keeping quiet about it? They already tied Nintendo ID's to Wii U's so maybe that's next, right?

Just because you imply that Sony will do that, doesn't mean they will. We know MS certainly will.

Blah, blah, blah...

That's all I read.

 

You want to presume Sony isn't doing this. But I'm waiting for Sony to respond and confirm they aren't doing this.

By the way, I'm hoping Sony doesn't do this.

Haha I almost forgot who am I talking with. Shame on me. Good day.

Well I have no idea who you are.

I see your point though. I'm being completely unreasonable for wanting Sony to confirm they aren't doing this (insert eyeroll here).

So essentially they will have an in house Gamestop type system. Also you can bet game prices will drop much faster than before (and there will probably be more sales) If those two things happen then I'm perfectly OK with that. Even if neither of them happen I'll still get the Xbox One because it looks like a kickin system.

Ridiculous and extremely anti-consumer. Please gamers, don't support this, even if you only buy new.

Meanwhile, Wii U continues to sell not so well. What if the PS4 and XBox One sell well? What does that say to developers?

If PS4>XBox 1> Wii U sales World Wide then it won't matter what Nintendo's Wii U stance will be.



It's just that simple.

It's an interesting idea but in my view a bad one. If it's anything it's a guard against piracy at the exchange of ruining the used game market but also means you can't lend a game to a friend.

i'm not against some tax to run used games, but $60 is too much.

This should be done instore not console side, not being able to lend a single player game to a friend without paying is a joke, if true.



Hmm, pie.

you don't know. and I'm not saying that. Just said that Wii U let you play all games and this is truth.

non-sense games will be more expensive, they will need higher sells at full price to make a profit and by killing the used game market outside of their console they won't have an incentive to drop their prices faster



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

Xbox One and Used Games

We know there is some confusion around used games on Xbox One and wanted to provide a bit of clarification on exactly what we’ve confirmed today. While there have been many potential scenarios discussed, today we have only confirmed that we designed Xbox One to enable our customers to trade in and resell games at retail.

Beyond that, we have not confirmed any specific scenarios.

Another piece of clarification around playing games at a friend’s house – should you choose to play your game at your friend’s house, there is no fee to play that game while you are signed in to your profile.



It's just that simple.
