Although Microsoft has been vague on the subject, the fault lies mainly with publishers, and retail. Microsoft’s, and Sony are trying to protect publishers without losing games retail. Taking the lead where retailers like GameStop, and third party Publishers can’t find common ground. For retail companies like GameStop used games sales brings in huge profits.
