The topic of used games has come up often over the past few weeks. Whereas the Wii U and PlayStation 4 allow gamers to share titles with others or freely resell them, the Xbox One will be putting restrictions in place.
Because of how often used games has been popping up in the news as of late, CVG asked Shigeru Miyamoto about his stance on the functionality. But Miyamoto is more concerned with piracy than used games, as he explained to the site:
“For us it’s less about used games and it’s really more illegal copying of games that we’re really worried about. By creating the games that we create and selling those games, it enables us to then create new versions of those games. We’re more worried about piracy and we think used games are a whole other story. In fact, from our perspective you want to create a game that people will want to keep and keep playing for a long time. That’s the approach that we always take and that’s the best way to avoid used games.”
