Well clearly Microsoft will not allow used games. This is going to damage them significantly. This is past the rumor stage as clearly everyone has hinted at no used games for MS.

U know? there used to be a time when trolls took their art seriously. They thought it through, they found the perfect comments with just the right amount of attitude to cause an uproar while at the same time bringing the lolz. Nowadays trolls are just sad :(

hypothetical question, lets say the rumors that the next xbox not allowing used games is true, will GameStop heavily promote PS4 over the new xbox or will they will recieve rougthly equal treatment.

They'll do everything reasonable to have PS4 at the forefront, more shelves more logos, features in commercials etc.

It doesn't matter what the reason may be or even if there is a reason What he says regardless is 100% spot on Sony asked developers to help shape the PS4 to what they wanted it to be. Thats another reason why Sony is awesome! Developers simply love the PS4 and have nothing but praise for it... The fact is the PS4 literally was built by game makes for gamers, and thats an awesome thing! The PS4 is THE core gamers console! Sony is the only one for the core gamer too! (I just love Sony and their stellar first party studios!) Microsoft and the xbox is about as irrelavant as can be to gamers right now lol. Its all about the PS4 for me and for many many others I cant wait for the PS4! Its going to be a day one buy for me! PS4 is going to be huge! I say no thank you to a causal Kinect box 720!

This will probably weight very heavily into MS's decision about used games. It would be one thing if Sony and Nintendo did it too, then it would just be an industry norm. If MS blocks used games but Sony allows them though, Microsoft MUST consider how heavily that would weigh against them at the retail shops. It probably won't end well when the companies trying to sell your product absolutely hate your guts and love your competitor.

Seems like everything Sony has shown and said about the PS4 so far is great. Now I am just waiting on two very very important parts of news......is online multiplayer free and how much will this thing cost?

I'd personally expect that MS will, in the end, allow used games. Having all the chain retailers pissed at you and doing everything they can to make sure that your competator succeeds while you fail is probably not an outcome MS wants.

I hope I'm wrong, the market cannot sustain a console that is always online and no used games.

I hope you're wrong, too. But hey if they do, I can save my cash. So whatever. It's not like Microsoft has anything cool in the pipe, as far as we know, anyway.

Microsoft has sort of set up commercial suicide with no used games.

I'm not saying Microsoft isn't douchy enough to do it. They are extra douchy and would probably want to go like 20 steps further than that. I just do not see how anyone at that company can be stupid enough to see a market that would sustain a platform that doesn't allow used games(PC DOES NOT COUNT, what the PC gets away with a console can't, it just can't). Gamestop's used game market hasn't exactly vanished, and it's not like they have to ignore the parents that shop for their kids. It would surprise me to be honest if Microsoft said no used games.

I mean Microsoft is douchy, but you don't make billions being stupid.

No they haven't. Assuming the "it's a shiny new product" factor alone isn't enough to win people over, it's a really, really easy sell to consumers: all you have to do is point out all the benefits of what will presumably be a pretty Steam-esque set-up (i.e. being able to access your entire library wherever and whenever plus regular sales on DD copies), and then if that's not enough just ask everyone to remember the time they waited in line for 30 minutes just for that pizza-faced jagoff at Gamestop to tell them their 6 month old copy of *insert major franchise here* was worth less than a dollar. 

There will obviously be backlash from the gamer masses, but so long as MS keeps on top of their messaging it's a non-issue (because if there's anything gamers do well, it's act all indignant about a product only to immidately roll over and buy it). The used market just doesn't do enough to justify its existence to the average consumer, so it really doesn't take much to get over that initial reaction of "no used games? that kinda sucks".

So yeah, MS is definitely going no used games and always-online.

That's good, but they really need to get the UI back to XMB first. That's the priority otherwise I may not buy it.
