Hahaha MrSega called it.

LOL! I love how people actually think Sony and Microsoft give a shit about gamers and not about billion dollar publishers and profit.

you mean the people that actually buy these consoles and pump money in to the console eco system and buy all the games and dlc and other rip offs ?

yeah why woudl they care about those people right ?
i mean its just the consumer who actually funds that business model

pissing off your customers is a great way to keep a console going

[mrbigreddog]

Game developers bitching about not getting a piece of that used game money. Well they made it worse for sure! If we don't buy the systems then we're DEFINITLY not going to buy their games!

Things are looking up for Nintendo! They should put that in their ad "Wii U, you can even play used games!"

You're pretty naive. They Don't care about games or consumers, they care about the big publishers offering them content and Triple A games. If there's no DRM, major publishers like EA and Activision won't support PS4 and Xbox One.

now you are thinking too logically
logic like that doesnt enter in to their thoughts

its like
1 cut out used game market

2 get everybody to buy new games at double pluss full price

3 ...err whatever

4 profit !!!

wait what do you mean our sales are plummeting this plan is fool proof !

maybe i should starting sarcasm tagging some of my posts

and big publishers will try to shift the blame when their content suddenly isnt shifting anymore

Wow so you think that DRM is actually going to get hardcore gamers to by an outdated gimmick with no games?

Naw, they'll just stick to their PS3s and 360s.

That's until the want to play Batman Arkham Origins or Assassin Creed Black Flag and they want to buy a used copy. You can only do that on Wii U.

Considering that PS4 doesn't read PS3 games, It wouldn't surprise me if Sony has followed suit.

It's a total idiotic practice which should be abolished completely, but considering all the other things going on with the console at the moment, region locking should probably be of lesser concern.


Edit:
On a little sidenote,
Xbone looks like it will have an external powerbrick like the 360's.
I'm definitely not a fan of those.

I would have to agree! Profit is the name of the game! Everything else is secondary! Like a good bloodhound, their nose will always follow the money!

Probably the only truth you've ever spoken. The video game business is *drum roll* a "business". Money and profit are what successful companies use to drive how they work.

Are they going to bother releasing the Xbox one in Japan?

EDIT: they are. Why?
