X Sucks - How Mircosoft threatens it's console legacy



Fuelled by the lack of any next generation console news in 2012 (no Wii U, you don’t count), 2013 has been rife with rumours, whispers and murmurs regarding the highly anticipated successors to the Xbox 360 and Playstation 4. Yet despite juicy tidbits such as the prophesised PS4 specs and potential hardware additions to improve Xbox’s Kinect peripheral, one topic disappointingly has broached the rumour mill of both consoles, the rumour of one time activation codes for games.

Speculation regarding one time use of gamers on the next generation of consoles isn’t a new topic to enter the fray in the next generation console debate. Mentions of one time activations have been milling around for years however, as with Edge magazines most recent unveiling of new integrated technology that will provide such a service to game developers from sources with “first hand experience” of the new console.
