It just gets better. Looks like Microsoft are forcing people with XBOX 720 consoles to install their games to the system. You may think ‘what’s wrong with that, PS3 does it?’ The problem is what Microsoft intend to do with that feature. They are planning to implement a one system only install – meaning pre-owned games or friend’s games will not work on your console. This is probably one of the worst mistakes they have ever made for so many reasons.
I’m sure everybody likes times where your friend(s) bring round games which you don’t have so you can play together and have fun. Of course, now this is deemed impossible as you now have to own a copy of the game each. I’m sure that everyone likes to go down to the store and spend less money on a pre-owned game that works just like the brand new ones. This is also phased out.
This is just one of Microsoft’s stupid ways of getting more of the dosh. But I personally think that their greed is going across the line here. People are going to be spending so much more money on these things that the prospect of an XBOX 720 seemsĀ ridiculous. The console cost, plus XBOX Live costs and now game costs altogether will just stop people from wanting to buy one, as they don’t want to be broke by the end of the month.
I strongly disagree with their decision to do this and it would be much wiser to leave these features as-is. Like I said with the iPhone; people will still buy the product. But I feel as if sales will be brought down as a result of this. Let me know what you think about this matter in the comments.
