I hope Sony and MS are stupid enough to require always on and ban used game sales because that really will be the death knell for console gaming. These are going to be the last consoles regardless. Lets just say the big two both do this. I am curious what you think would then replace console gaming? PC gaming has already been doing this for years now. Pretty much every new PC game requires you to activate it through some online service (battlenet, steam, origin), locking that copy to you and making it have no resell value. So if this is the death knell of console gaming and there is no alternative then where are people going to migrate to for their gaming fix? The Ouya, of course! I think the Wii-U also does the whole "tied to one console" bullshit, right? Creston
