I just said that a few posts above, in both cases money doesnt go to devs, why are they any different?

Ignore everything I've said, I clearly can't read OP.

By buying PS4 and not buying Xbone you are indirectly supporting the continuation of used games. You are only partly supporting developers. Proper support of developers is buying a system which ensures every game that is sold earns money for the publisher. That way you are supporting publishers directly with your money, and you are also making sure others do the same.

Put it this way: If the roles were reversed, and Sony had the DRM and Microsoft kept used game trading free and open I would be buying my first ever Microsoft console.  Am I relieved that Sony are doing the thing that aligns with my principles? Yes I am. But would I regret switching to MS if it was the other way around? Not one bit.

I am saying to you specifically, that you should be buying a Xbone. You should reject Sony's (and Nintendo's) continued disdain for the economic health of the software business, now that you actually have a choice in consoles between open used game sales, and controlled used game sales which (according to you) better supports developers and publishers. You did have a choice before: PC, but now you have a console choice as well. Controller differences be damned, exclusive differences be damned. Do what's best for the health of the video game software industry, and in your world view that's supporting platforms which actively work against the used game market.

But what should people with contradictory principles do?

Like all those Xbox enthusiasts who after the Xbone reveal were preaching the same, that used games etc. are the devil because the developers, publishers etc. are pretty much starving because they do not earn enough money because of used games - and who are now saying that the "your family" loophole of sharing games with up to 10 friends is the best feature ever and will save them shitloads of money?

He's absolutely right. If they want us to hold on to our games, make better ones.

I buy new games instead of used ones when there's quality content.

well I was using a bit of sarcasm, but not directed as MS or their DRM. It was directed at some Sony and Nintendo gamers. The point I'm makling however I am being serious about.

No offense,  but do you mean just honest opinions of a company that doing some legitimately crappy things right now? I understand that the M$ hate is getting thicker by the day, but in many ways, it's completely justified. People are just to do their part in exposing a product that is almost 100% anti-consumer at this point.

Did anybody else read the article about a message from Xbox Support that says if you get baned from XBL on XBone, you give up all liscences for those games and thus LOSE them? I keep telling myself that even M$ can't be that bad, but then I wonder. 

they are very different...

piracy is taking someone else's work without consent, compensation, or even knowledge.

in used games the devs/publishers already got their money.  and agreement was made  between the seller (publisher/dev) and the buyer (me) to transfer ownership from one party to the next.  once transferred the original seller's rights end and the buyers begins.  honda can't tell me when/if/how i resell my car.   Shanile (the previous owner) cannot tell me when/if/how i resell my home.  MS/Sony/EA/Activision/whomever should have no say in when/if/how i resell my games. 

if you believe in property rights like i do pricinples are pretty simple:  piracy bad.  reselling good.

Again, WHAT? I dont need to support the xbox one to support developers, its not like sony and nintendo block new games. Whats best for the game industry? (they way i see it) just buy the game new, doesnt matter if its for 20 bucks or less just contribute to the devs for the good/bad/mediocre work they did. You think a game might not be good and dont wanna risk your hard earned money on it? wait a few months to go down in price, wait for digital discounts.
