And on the back of the article we just published about fans urging Sony to stay away from DRM, it is now being reported that Sony will likely regulate the sale used-games in some manner with the Playstation 4.

CVG are citing Gametrailers‘ Geoff Keighley who claims to have ‘heard’ that Sony is likely to enforce similar used game policies to Microsoft.

“Sony has sort of been seen as this kind of white knight so far that’s not going to restrict used games,” claims Keighley.

“Based on some of the things I’m hearing, I don’t think that’s entirely true, because I can’t see publishers allowing one system to do one thing and one the other.”

The subject of DRM and the Xbox One still remains unclear, with the latest reports claiming that a new system will be put into place where Microsoft, the retailer and the publisher will be remunerated on the sale of a used-game.

Microsoft has however dismissed these reports claiming the reports are “inaccurate and incomplete”, and also claimed that it has yet to finalize its policies on the matter.

“Xbox One is designed to support the trade in and resale of games,” claims Microsoft.
