With rumors of Sony’s PS4 having the tecnology to prevent used games from being used without paying an additional fee, GameStop exec spoke on the impact it would have on the used games market.
“GameStop is excited to see what impending consoles, like the Wii U, will bring to the gaming community. While we can’t speculate, we do think it is highly unlikely that the next generation of video game consoles will implement technology that blocks used content because it would be considered a very unfriendly consumer initiative. As of now, the company has not received any information from the console manufacturers that any new consoles will not play pre-owned games.”
