The push against used media is simply put, capitalist bullshit.

ok, i misunderstood. i will admit that I have a pretty big disdain for the PS4.

i did a quick search for his exact words, but i couldnt find anything conclusive. either way, the point is that Sony didn't "save" the used market, it is the consumer that saved the used game market. at best, sony was fully intending on doing it, but decided against it after, thats right, the CONSUMER'S response. I credit the consumer for standing against MS's policies, not Sony. Sony just reaped the benefits for being more patient about it. 

well maybe the EU will finaly enforce the used media laws and make us able to sell our used software, like theythreatend steam to enforce the law that makes us able to get a refund for digital media

Hell yeah! The used game market kicks ass. There are so many games that would never see the light of day if it werent for the used market. 

While that's a great point, that's an issue that will, for the most part, remain exclusive to those old consoles. I keep using Steam because it rings true - that platform will last indefinitely, and the games on it are there for the long run. There is no "out of print" to worry about, only being pulled off the market place, which is the exception rather than the rule.

In 20 years when people go back and play the PS4/XBO/Wii U, all those games will still be available on the market place, and for dirt cheap. Even now, I still can, and do, buy games from the PS3 digitally. There are games who's prices are preserved because of this. I plan on buying Peace Walker on PS3 digitally. I got Metroid Prime Trilogy, a game that used to run for like $200 physically, for $10 on the eshop. And that's all without having to scour game stores and ebay hoping someone has the game you want on the console you want in the condition you want for the price you want. You'll just buy the old system, look up the market place, and buy those games.

In a digital marketplace where there are no physical games, game preservation becomes easier and more streamlined, not more difficult.

Those are two completelty differnent things. One is a basic refund policy, and their solution is barely budging. Forcing them to create a meta-marketplace is ludacris.

making software resellable isnt ludacris,  its our good right as consumer to resell our stuff.

you got MP3T because Nintendo decided to make it available. what about all the other elusive titles on the wii that arent available on the eShop? 

Lets consider a completely digital PS5. Do you expect every release on it from 2020 (hypothetical launch year) to say, 2040 to be available for download still? and what about after 2040? how do you get PS5 games? Does it just not matter anymore at that point?

that is exactly right. i find it incredible that you still have consumers arguing against the ability to resell software.

There should be no used market!
