And yet there are people who actually support Microsoft's business practices w/ the BetmaXbox and the BetmaXbox itself.
If they end up having problems with the Xbox One and start complaining, they can suck it.

THE PLOT THICKENS!
From Giant Bomb:
Microsoft to Pull Complete Reversal on Xbox One DRM Policies
by Patrick Klepek on June 19, 2013
Sources indicate Microsoft is going to move away from what's caused the company so much headache.
The tug-of-war between Microsoft and Sony just got more interesting. Multiple sources inform me Microsoft will announce what amounts to a complete reversal on its DRM policies for Xbox One today.What does this mean?No more always online requirement
The console no longer has to check in every 24 hours
All game discs will work on Xbox One as they do on Xbox 360
An Internet connection is only required when initially setting up the console
All downloaded games will function the same when online or offline
No additional restrictions on trading games or loaning discs
Region locks have been dropped.
Big thread on NeoGAF about the rumor too. Could it be true? Could Microsoft really be seeing the situation with clear eyes? I, for one, certainly hope so. Any console that has such policies means bad news for gamers.
I still won't buy it (no Kinect, thanks), but it would be great news for so many. Skeptical, but hopeful..

Yea, even if all of this was true, the Kinect would still be a huge issue. And the PS4 is still cheaper. And better in specs and other stuff.

If they really are doing this then I'm happy that they are
But part of me still says the damage has already been done for some consumers

I don't know whether they'd do it. If they do, then it highlights that all the other things about the power of cloud, family entertainment, persistent worlds, an online ecosystem. Was, as we all already knew, utter, utter bullsh*t
So the damage is largely done, they're either going to back peddle and still receive flak for their inevitable PR spin saying that they changed approach for some other reason than the huge criticism they got. Or they're going to stick to their guns and try and down play it, saying it "might" be a series of options in the future.

Nintendo shouldn't say anything. They hardly have games on the Wii U. Maybe they should actually make games first.ShepnTali wrote...
Make better games people want to keep - Nintendo. Maybe there's a bit of truth in that statement.
Games have become the equivelant of a Mickey D's drive thru. Finished in 8 hours, bam, onto the next. I remember playing the same handful of games for years.
Cliffy b was a fun guy back in the Unreal Tournament days. He's always complaining nowadays.
Also "make better games" is silly in itself. Many people, once they finish playing a game, they're done playing it for good, no matter how good the game is. This is why single player only games are becoming less important. It's why CoD is so popular and successful while games like Metro have a more niche audience. Once you put in multiplayer or co-op with progression, you'll have plenty of reasons to replay. SP games more or less are beat the game and done.
That's not how I am of course, but that's the majority of the consumer base.
Except Ninty has all time metacritic chart toppers. They do know how to make games quite well. They have history well beyond Wii U, and their 3DS library to date, gets high accolades.

If this turns out to be accurate, it's win.

I thought Microsoft were confident that customer loyalty will get them through?
And if this was true, I still bet there is something else to replace it.

IF that is all true...
Well. Good on Microsoft. That's a step up from BioWare fixing the ME3 ending.
They still screwed up and were arrogant. It will still leave something of a taint. But if they DO fix these things, well, Sony's projected dominance has just had an expiration date attached.
Game on for the actual best hardware / best line-up of games! (again, if true)

From Don Mattrick:
You told us how much you loved the flexibility you have today with games delivered on disc. The ability to lend, share, and resell these games at your discretion is of incredible importance to you. Also important to you is the freedom to play offline, for any length of time, anywhere in the world.
