The Wedbush Morgan analyst told GamesIndustry there are several reasons to doubt that Sony would make usch a decision.
�It isn�t really in Sony�s or Microsoft�s best interests to block used games,� he said.
�It would benefit Activision and EA slightly, and would hurt GameStop a great deal. If Sony unilaterally did this, I could see GameStop refusing to carry their console, and sales of the PS4 would therefore suffer.�
Pachter also noted that Microsoft and Nintendo would have to be onboard the scheme too.
�If one does it and the others don�t, the one who does it will see a loss of market share,� he said.
In typically entertaining Pachter style, he expressed his doubts that any of the three companies �are stupid enough to do this unilaterally� or �evil enough to do it together�.
Other analysts echoed Pachter�s sentiments that the used game market is under threat just yet.
