Over 60% Of Gamers Won’t Buy PS4 Or Xbox 720 If They Block Used Games

Over 60% Of Gamers Won’t Buy PS4 Or Xbox 720 If They Block Used Games

ps4 might block used games

With the recent rumors that the PS4 and Xbox 720 might block used games, Gamestop ran a survey to see how many gamers would be upset by this.

According to GameStop chief financial officer Rob Lloyd, the company did some internal research that shows that over 60% of gamers won’t buy a PS4 or Xbox 720 if they were to block used games.

Lloyd added the following comment during the Goldman Sachs Technology and Internet Conference:

“Consumers want the ability to play pre-owned games, they want portability in their games; they want to play physical games,” he said. “And to not have those things would be a substantial reason for them not to purchase a new console.”

Kotaku did its own poll on the matter with nearly 10,000 votes already tallied. So far, over 64% of gamers said they wouldn’t buy next generation consoles if they blocked used games. Pretty amazing how Kotaku and Gamestop came up with similar results.
