MS execs must have read too many Fu Manchu books and they fear the Yellow Peril could hack XBOne on zero day.   

No, I don't have a source. I just don't think that MS is doing all this. Who knows, maybe I'm wrong.

all of our Chinese have known this situation, and enter this website you will seehttp://tieba.baidu.com/p/3301855374?pid=57641717934&cid=57644510076#57644510076

See? This is what the games would cost everywhere now if we had those policies in the rest of the world! See?

j/k

New games there are $15-$40? Used games sales would be killer if they already sell for  1/2 price to start.

DRM region locked system with limited games? Sounds like the iQue 64. Nintendo released their Chinese N64 and tried to control the piracy by locking games to each console. Sony released the PS2 in China, and ran into piracy problems from the start...

Seriously, it's a China thing, not a MS thing. 

Software between $15-$40 US dollars?? Shit, I'd take that in a heartbeat over not being able to resell your games... I never sell mine anyway. No more paying $60 for short single player games or games that require gamers to spend tons more on DLC (looking at you, Destiny).

Honestly if doing away with the resale of games meant that the MSRP of videogames would come down drastically over the flat $59.99 price for most retail games then I'd be all for it.

Wish the US had pricing like that because even new most games are only worth that much.

Not really... lower MSRP means people would be looking to price gouge consumers in the 2nd hand market.  If a new game costs $40 and is in high demand or limited quantities, the resale value is going to be close to or even greater than retail.  Same thing happened with Xenoblade... limited release for $49.99 at Gamestop and used copies would be routinely found online for almost double that.

And used versions of games are rarely more than $5-$10 cheaper than new copies of games anyway, at least here in the US.  I'll never understand the people who will spend $55 on a used copy of a game but not $60 on a brand new copy.  More often than not you can usually find new copies of games on sale in b&m stores or online for the same as what Gamestop charges for used copies.

If there is one place where consumers won't react against this policy it will be china, regardless of whether it's MS or the govt that is behind it.
