It is unclear what caused this huge change in policy right after E3, a week where Microsoft executives spent days explaining, justifying, and talking about its policies to the press. I suspect Microsoft’s official announcement will say something to the effect of “we've been closely listening to consumer feedback.”
Based on what I’m being told, that’s definitely true.
I've reached out to Microsoft for comment.
Microsoft has taken an enormous amount of heat regarding DRM policies with its new console. Sony became consumer heroes at E3, announcing PlayStation 4 would not treat used games differently, and the status quo would reign. The company released this video, twisting the knife:
- 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

Your getting it all wrong, people love Xbox and trust me, what xbox has did just proved that companies do listen to their customers and 90% absolutely hated the new Xbox, but now, Xbox fans have a huge smile!
It's not about being weak or strong, its about making sure they will enjoy using it.

Dude you are so blind and naive, Microsoft only changed their 'strategy' simply because of the Huge backlash and projected loss of earnings based on pre-orders and polls. They only listened to consumers because they had no other choice, otherwise they were going to lose consumers. They have had this plan/roadmap set in place for a LONG time (YEARS) and after e3 and pre-orders were able to be taken it was very obvious they were going to lose Massive amounts of sales. So sorry but the only truth to your statement is Xbox users are smiling because they're not getting fucked as hard.
