I cant wait to see the sony stans eat crow. Sony being slick on saying its up to the publisher. Like any publisher is not going to jump at the chance to cash in on the used game market. Lol

You Will Be Able To Trade Xbox One Games Online, Microsoft Says
Xbox One games will require a one-time activation code to use, but you'll still be able to trade and sell them online, Microsoft tells Kotakualthough we're not 100% clear on the details.
Speaking to us at the big event in Redmond today, Microsoft corporate vice president Phil Harrison clarified a couple of details about the system's used game policy and explained that there will be a solution for people who want to trade games with their friends.
Here's how the system works: when you buy an Xbox One game, you'll get a unique code that you enter when you install that game. You'll have to connect to the Internet in order to authorize that code, and the code can only be used once. Once you use it, that game will then be linked to your Xbox Live account. "It sits on your harddrive and you have permission to play that game as long as youd like," Harrison said.
Other users on the console will be able to play that game as well, Harrison said. So you don't need to buy multiple games per family. "With the built-in parental controls of the system it is shared among the users of the device," he said.
But what if you want to bring a game disc to a friend's house and play there? You'll have to pay a feeand not just some sort of activation fee, but the actual price of that gamein order to use a game's code on a friend's account. Think of it like a new game, Harrison says.
"The bits that are on that disc, you can give it to your friend and they can install it on an Xbox One," he said. "They would then have to purchase the right to play that game through Xbox Live."
"They would be paying the same price we paid, or less?" we asked.
"Lets assume its a new game, so the answer is yes, it will be the same price," Harrison said.
But that doesn't mean used games are dead. In fact, Harrison told us, you'll be able to sell your Xbox One games online.
"We will have a solutionwere not talking about it todayfor you to be able to trade your previously-played games online," Harrison said.
The Xbox exec wouldn't give further details on how this system will work, but we're assuming that once you're done with a game, you can trade the code online and it will be erased from your machine. But what will you get? Other games? Microsoft Points?
No matter how the final system works, it is not likely to please GameStop, the world's biggest buyer and seller of used video games, but it could be a tantalizing way to share games with your friends in the virtual space.

fukk these cats straight to hell.
The last line of your post basically helped me make up my mind. I'm riding with PS4. I definitely don't have time for two consoles. And if I'm going to choose one, it's gonna be the one that doesn't have a camera staring me in the face 24/7. The games are a non-issue. They're both going to have good games, good graphics and good experiences. I just don't care for or want kinect.
Eating crow huh....when MS is pullin stunts like purposely nerfing the power of their console (they better thank Epic Games forever for making them double the 360s ram), being a glorified cable box, still charging for online multi, and oh yeah....
this little tidbit.... BLOCKING OF USED GAMES!!!!
