Well literally only the store selling the "Used" game makes money... so it's a massive loss. I'd say it's the prevalence of "Used" game sales that made this happen.

I do not agree with it. I'm 100% against it.

But looking from within the industry, I completely understand. It just makes sense.

But most people won't get that. And I don't like it, even understanding the reasoning, one bit.

Is it just me or does it look like one of those generic game boxes that were out years ago?

Yeah, I watched the conference and was not impressed. TV talk, sports, sports fantasy (whatever that is), sports games, Halo tv series, sports on tv, a game that looked interesting for the whole 30 seconds we saw it, and then Call of Duty. Whoopiefriggado. The machine looks like a VCR.

They did say you would not have to be plugged online to play singler player games, but everything else works from the internet. It will play used games, but because the games are going to be connected with your profile and require installs to play, you will have to pay an install fee for games that have been previously used. The controller requires batteries again. And not backwards compatibility (which we all knew). Oh yeah, and three operating systems so that the console can crash three times over.

I figured as much...I kind of like Tokunation a bit more, because it's more civilized for the most part.

Hm...then I migh-

Nope.

Just the fact that you're going to have to pay multiple fees out the ass is enough to convince me to stick with the PS4.

What else would it use? I'm a bit confused here.

Maybe he was expecting the console to stream power to the controller or something... Like Wizard Rings. And, other stuff that does that which I don't know about.

Ok, now THAT would be cool. I want the XboxONE to do Shabadoobie when it's trying to pick up a controller now. :lol

Im assuming he meant it requires you to actually have to take them out and replace them, not that it has an internal rechargeable one.

My stream was laggy so I actually have no idea what the controller has and hasn't got.

Oh goodness. Since we're dreaming, let's make it Den-O Climax Powered. Pick up the controller and say "Charge and Up" and that charges it completely. XD

If that's the case, certainly there will be an accessory that has a rechargeable kit down the road. I wouldn't want it to be internal, because you'd have to buy another controller completely when the charging fails to work, which tends to happen on rechargeable electronics.
