Xbox One passes PS4 on Amazon chart - Corey ☁ - 06-20-2013
The Xbox One has overtaken the PlayStation 4 on Amazon's video game bestseller chart, one day after Microsoft announced a dramatic policy reversal.
The Xbox One was tracking ahead of the PS4 earlier this month, MCV points out, though it fell behind after Sony's E3 announcements of pricing ($400) and policies (plays used game, won't require Internet connection).
Notably, there is only one Xbox One SKU on the Amazon bestseller chart--the Day One Edition. Meanwhile, five separate PS4 bundles grace the preorder chart.
Microsoft yesterday announced new policies that put the Xbox One more on par with the PS4.
The new terms state players are free to trade-in, lend, resell, gift, and rent disc-based games in the same way that they can today on Xbox 360. In addition, Microsoft has done away with 24-hour Internet "check-ins" and lifted the Xbox One region-lock.
Though Microsoft has backtracked on some of its policies, the company has no plans to revisit the platform's $500 price point.

I think that Microsoft realized how fucking stupid those ideas were and got a horrible reaction from potential buyers. Glad to see that they did away with those awful ideas.

I can't believe it took Microsoft an E3 bashing and a viral video from SONY to support used games.

Cool so we can play used games now but is the Xbox one compatible with 360 games? And will all the games I have downloaded on my profile be transferred?
