Xbox One Console

Don Mattrick, the president of the interactive entertainment business at MicroSoft revealed on Tuesday that the Xbox One console will be coming later this year.  There was no specific date, so if something happens they can push back the launch date, you know how technology updates can be.  Could this be the end of used games at stores?  It is stated that when you purchase a game you upload it to your console.  If you take the game to another console you will have to pay a fee to upload it to that console.  So, scratching of the head, does this mean you buy a used game at a store and then you have to pay another fee online to load it to the console?  Also the previous generations will not be able to be played on the Xbox One.  Seems gaming companies are getting touch about their titles.  Follow the link to more information:
