Sony May Not Block Used Games With PS4/Orbis After All

Posted on Monday, May 14 @ 07:02:05 Eastern by


Sony Computer Entertainment of America President and CEO, Jack Tretton, has been quoted as saying that used games are "great for consumsers" and blocking them on the upcoming PS4, aka Orbis, would be "anti-consumer".

The news comes from the most recent episode of GameTrailers.com's Bonus Round where industry analyst, Michael Pacther, drilled the Sony exec for info.

Tretton, while personally doesn't disapprove of used games sales, did say, however, that the head honchos in Japan will have the final say, though. So ruling it out entirely isn't feasible.

Hopefully, Kaz Hirai, who has a huge task ahead of him in turning Sony's financial woes around, feels similar to Mr. Tretton.

    Well, that was predictable. I think it's implausible to block someone with a used game.

    Fear not, just like with the PS3 we will get the vintage and beloved Dualshock design.
    Oh, and probably no frisbee PS4 either, the market still doesn't demand aerodynamic console hardware.

    It's only a matter of time. Flying game consoles are not in demand NOW... we just need to find a way to introduce that demand to the market.

    Apparently the new console has been designed to automatically vacuum your floors while you game.
