Microsoft screwed THEMSELVES by trying that stupid trick of not letting the xbone play used games and making users have an internet connection!
They finally reversed course...too little, too late!
Maybe next time both them and Sony will learn that people will not be pushed into just accepting whatever Microsoft or Sony thinks they should....people have voted...with their WALLET!
Hopefully this sends a STRONG MESSAGE to BOTH companies that used games are and SHOULD be considered when making a new console...and an internet connection should be OPTIONAL!
Not everyone has high speed internet like these two companies seem to think they do. After what Microsoft has pulled I am surprised at the number of sheepole STILL snapping up x box ones!

That's why they really want to move to digital downloads for games...nothing to trade in as used.
The fact is most of us (who buy both Xbox & PS) know all the scare stories either are laughably exaggerated or didn't happen.
The Sony faithful, for all their obvious pretence, were never going to buy Xbox.
Who knows how things will be next year nevermind by '17?
In truth nobody.
The fact is, as far as anyone outside Microsoft and/or Sony can tell, both are selling very well at launch.
Once the price-cuts start it will change as they to and fro.
Lots of people (like myself) refuse to buy at launch & await the first revisions to happen before thinking about buying, it is still very early days for the mass-market.
