@Argle @mellow09 @RealEddieMakuch @bizzySGS Awesome, so before the holiday. Bet they liked that.

@Argle @RealEddieMakuch @bizzySGS @mellow09 So, holiday help.

@JCronic2k1 Digital is in zero ways superior to having a disk. The major driving for a digital marketplace is this: You can impulse buy more, but when it takes hours to download a game over the PSN, no one is going to do that.

In one article about the Xbox blocking used games 1000 comments immediatly about how no one wants to buy a system that blocks used games.

In one article about the decline of a store that sells the vast majority of used games, comments about how everyone hates stores that sell used games.

@ahhnold72 Gamestop being toast is not good news for you. You may not like that they don't give you 90% of what they sell a game for that day, but they have t make a profit. And a gamestop that doesn't make a profit, is a video game industry without its biggest driving force: circulation, sales generation, and promotion. That means that the video game industry implodes.

@TheCyborgNinja Take away used games and the COD pop plummets. Not only will they lose people who won't want the console, but they'll lose the potential buyers of games that the inital buyer no longer plays. That drastically reduces the amount of people online, and the amount of DLC sold.

Hello XBox720.

"In addition, the sources said games for the new system will ship with activation codes and 'have no value beyond the initial user.'"

Goodbye XBox720

@koendrenthe SE published Sleeping Dogs and Deus Ex. They didn't develop them.

The loss isn't because their games don't make a big enough profit; the loss is because they're developing a dozen games with dev cycles a decade long.

Bet you this comes out in 3 months. Sony REALLY wants a head start on Xbox.
