Wii U Only Next-Gen Console to Support Used Games?

If the Wii U is the only next-gen console to support the full function of used games (unless third party publishers put restrictions on their games themselves) will it completely dominate the Next-Box and PS4?

I really hope that Sony and Microsoft go through with the "no used games" it will put them on par (in that regard) with the PC which in the end will benefit the PC

If true,I'll be buying a WiiU.

If so, then Wii U sales dominate the other two consoles.MercenaryMafia

Who cares ?

It is not like anyone wants to play next gen games with lower than xbox 360 graphics on WiiU

Anyone can as easilly buy or use his xbox 360 and have better graphics and controls as well

If we sell our downloaded games, Nintendo takes a cut of the money! :x

On a different note. Nintendo one generation behind as usual.

No matter what, the Wii U will dominate next generation anyway. What I am worried about is not the system's marketability- Nintendo could put out a carton of sh*t on the market, and everybody would lap it upcharizard1605

if that was the case the 3ds wouldn't have had all those launch issues

Then the largest video game retailer, Gamestop, would not sell the 720 nor the PS4. Sony and Microsoft would never allow that, so their console will support used games. It's simple to figure this one out.OreoMilkshake

If people want the consoles they will just lineup outside bestbuy or the thousands of other stores that will sell their systems..

Well nintendo put out a carton of sh*t with a high price tag, which was the 3DS main problem.

Back then had no gaems so I guess it was a carton of sh*t, even if the tech was pretty nice leap from the DS

It won't have any quality games in any case so who gives a sh*t?

Moving back to the original topic, do we know for sure that the Wii U won't block used games in some way, have games come with an online pass, or maybe require constant online connection or something equally nasty? Seeing as how there's a lot of pressure from the gaming industry on Sony and MS, can Nintendo really avoid all of this?

I'm ofc hoping that they can fly under the radar and just release a good old-fashioned console where used games can be bought and played offline, and where patches and updates can be downloaded by temporarily going online with no questions asked. But until a Nintendo exec comes out and actually promises to "Not block used games in any shape or form" I wouldn't rule anything out just yet. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Big named Publishers won't bother with WiiU then since they know they would lose alot of profits, this COULD happen not saying it will but if Sony and Microsoft dow't allow Used Games I can see Nintendo following them.

Microsoft will almost certainly stop used games working on the NextBox and Sony would only do the same if they all got drunk when making the decision. The issue is that all the Xbox fan girls and boys will still pay for the Next Box, XBL and the hundred and two add-ons that are needed for the system to function sufficiently the say it's worth it because they get all the games that the PS4 has. Thus, Xbox fanboys are more suited to the title of sheeps than even Nintendo ones.
