Noted video game analyst Michael Pachter briefly interviewed Sony America CEO Jack Tretton this weekend.
When asked about his thoughts on blocking used games, the CEO says in his personal opinion he is "opposed to blocking used games."
Furthermore, the exec believes used games are "great for consumers" and a move to block them would incredibly "anti-consumer."
Unfortunately, Tretton had to make it clear he was speaking as an individual and not on behalf of Sony. He added he was unclear on Sony's thoughts on the matter.
Since talk of the next-generation consoles have heated up in the last two months, one rumor still persists, that of Microsoft and Sony looking to add technology that will block the playback of games on more than one console, effectively killing the used games market. Neither company has confirmed or denied such a move.
