GameStop has also – unsurprisingly – applauded Microsoft’s decision to drop their DRM plans on the Xbox One. “This is great news for gamers and we applaud Microsoft for understanding consumers and the importance of the pre-owned market,” they said.
Industry analyst Michael Pachter reckons Microsoft is is prepared to cut the price of the Xbox One in 2014 if sales don’t keep pace with Sony’s cheaper PS4. However, he does appear to think that the two consoles will sell equal quantities following Microsoft’s about turn. [via CVG]
