Ubisoft Says “We Still Haven’t Decided” Over Xbox One Pre-Owned Games

Ubisoft Says “We Still Haven’t Decided” Over Xbox One Pre-Owned Games

The Xbox One will only allow the sale of used games if the publisher of a specific game allows it. What do publishers, less than six months out from the console’s launch, think of this?

Well, one of the biggest in the world, Ubisoft, has no idea. Or at least isn’t publicly talking.

Speaking with GameSpot, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot was asked whether his company would be allowing the sale of used games on the Xbox One, to which he replied “We haven’t decided yet.”

The Xbox One is out in November. It’s already the middle of June. Guys like Guillemot must have known about this for months. Anything short of a definitive “no” is a pretty strange answer.
