You gotta give them credit for trying at least. It means that they actually care a little, that they are actually listening, it's amazing really...Also, Sony was considering a similar used game policy for the PS4, if I recall correctly. Microsoft's backlash on revealing it first HELPED the PS4. That's also intriguing, maybe Sony was just trying to play it safe, and instead of damage control like this, they were more opportunistic. Seriously, the amount of excitement the PS4 got for...being like the consoles before it (in regards to used games, online-ness, and so on) was actually kind of embarrassing. It was nice knowing they weren't going for that kind of thing, but it still felt...opportunistic of Sony.
But you know, sure, Microsoft "dug their own grave", but I honestly feel like they were trying to do something new. I mean, something that gamers cared about. The "connection", having your digital game library...it has a lot of good points. Personally, and this is a sentiment shared with others, but that's 1 step forward and like 10 steps back, so it's not worth it. So, it was an experiment, and it failed. And they are trying to repair their reputation. No use kicking them when their down. (but oh gee, of course the thought of used games and even your own physical discs becoming obsolete, is absolutely dreadful, and having to go online everyday? lol)
Still, I don't really care about X-box One anyway! Or...well, the PS4 for that matter.
Nintendo for the win! Ha ha ha!
