USED GAMES - The Secret Wars.



  Are you mad at M$ for their used game stance?  Are you going to switch from XBOX to PS this console generation because of it?  Guess what?  You're SCREWED!  Recent articles and interviews with Sony executives don't make lines as clear cut as they were at their E3 press conference.  PS is starting to peel back the curtain now that they have been declared the winners of E3.

  So, who are the REAL bad guys?  The Publishing Companies!  Sony executives have stated, "Used games will left up to the publisher."  This means that if UBISOFT decides they are going to add a single use code to their games then PS won't stop them.  The dirty little secret in the game industry is that they all hate used games!  The only people that make money on used games are companies like Game Stop.  You have to think, M$ and PS don't lose any real money from used games, so their had to be influence from somewhere.  As I stated in previous articles there have been a number of game publishers that have gone out of business or have gone through some real financial problems in the past few years.  At $60 per game people are less likely to take a risk on a game then they would if the game was used, an the publishers make squat on used games.

  There is more to come on this never ending saga.  My advice to everyone...hold off on reserving a console for now.  There are too many secrets both M$ and PS are holding onto right now.
