1. This is a rumour.
2. It's like all the other rumours.
3 This has been covered, and there's even official Escapist coverage of it. Hell, this is from February sixth, more than a month ago, at which point the dev's comments were jumped over.

Except, even in this rumour, they're still selling physical copies.Mr.K. said:
Day before launch: Millions vow XBox BoycottRealitycrash said:
Day after Launch: XBox 3 sets one-day sales records.
Please, stop all the fucking rumours, this is all pointlees until anything is official announced.
Interesting that we seem to be going back to N64 days of carts 
It seems like a decent solution, so long as the machine has plenty of storage for downloads too.
I also wish MS would announce a name for it so people wouldn't use the XBox 720, name that just sounds silly.
I normally call it XBox 3, or the next XBox

It's a rumor. That's that.
If it wasn't a rumor i'd still be fine with it. The way i see it, Steam makes a ton of money, Microsoft wants in on this market. There you go.
I suppose it boils down to "Does Steam make more money than Microsoft's current business model." Since Steam never releases sales figures, who knows.

I'm still treating this as just a rather far-fetched rumour, Durall's reaction is worrying though. I don't believe this industry profiting in the billions is going to fall apart from used game sales and let's face it, gamers "growing to understand" just means them becoming so acclimatised to it that they don't care and that the trademark gamer apathy comes into play.
Oh for the love of-
It HAS NOT BEEN CONFIRMED. When Microsoft themselves reveal it, then freak out about it!

Yeah this rumor came around last cycle too [http://www.tjoystiq.com/2005/11/08/playstation-3-wont-play-used-games/]. Of course then it was the PS3 that wasn't going to play used games. Well we all know how that rumor turned out. I suspect this one will turn out about the same.
yall actually believe that shit?
psssh...seriously people, use your brains.
Eliminating backwards compatibility would be damaging to the xbox's sales due to everyone wanting to play halo and what not on something that's works.
and making it digital download only is stupid and Microsoft knows it. No one except probably steam would consider that because that tend to limit the max amount of games one can play which would hurt sales.
And going back to halo....thats microsofts baby, and the announced that halo 4 would not be for the new xbox.....put 2 and 2 together....
yeah, id wish people would stop makeing threads based off bullshit rumors everyone knows is false.

Your comments about the company acting entitled is highly amusing.
This is like gamers wanting to boycott a game because they don't like something about it.
Gaming companies have been acting entitled since gamers have been complaining.
Unfortunately most gamers are whiny, and fail to realize that throwing a tantrum like a kid in the supermarket may not net you what you want, but what the 'parent' decides.
