You can see Pachter talk about that conversation on GameTrailers’ Bonus Round. At about the 1:52 mark, he says Tretton believes such a move would be “anti-consumer”. However, PlayStation’s marching orders come from Japan and according to Pachter, Tretton says that the mothership may think differently about this issue.
