They must have seen the amount of preorders of PS4 vs theirs. It's bullshit they "listen to the fans".

its funny because microsoft have fucked up so much with this... they are accustomed to loosing vast amounts of money on the exbox franchise due to the 360 being so broken with all the RLOD...
i'm not too sure how far down the line with the making of the ONE they were as they didn't even have them running at E3 in their playing booth's, they had overpowered windows 7 pc's... another fail as the ONE is supposed to be a windows 8 OS...this suggests they hadn't finished the console. This with now doing a complete u-turn... they know they've fucked it. sony was 8-1 ahead in pre-orders the last time i looked... i am sure some of the 'fans' will go crawling back to the xbox but i don't think they all will...

This is really fucking bad for them, previously they've lost a lot of money on Xbox as a plan to take over the living room. Xbone was the next step but clearly intended to be the step where it starts actually making money.
Although the company has a lot of money coming in from Office, they don't just throw money away on projects without it being for a future investment.
- Theyve made a fortune off the 360. After 7 years its still sells around 200k a month.CygnusZero4
- And has been the top selling console for 28 straight months. X1 will be fine.CygnusZero4
- Especially after they fixed everything everyone asked, and put Halo out on it. 10 million sales no problem.CygnusZero4

PS4
hey borrow my disc and play it online = No
2nd hand game = no onlineXBOX
hey borrow my disc and play it online = yes
2nd hand game = yes onlineps4 will still have DRM play pass controlled by the publisher
Xbox will not (as far as we know right now)So digest that one before wanging on about a company that has clearly done what you want them to do.
- Wasn't it announced no online passes for PS4animatedgif

Yeh even though they are finally listening to their audience, I can't help but think a lot of damage is already been done.
I also don't expect them to try to listen to the audience as much as they could in future either, I expect this will be a stubborn minimum requirement effort from them. Sadly. But hopefully not and the ps4 will be even more pushed by competition.

It doesn't feel like they are really into the community it's just like "meh, lets change this stuff for better sales".
And it is.

Good article detritus, on the face of it I was only annoyed at the 24 hour check in function which I think I still would be annoyed at, but it's is on the nail about they way they presented the functions they completely fucked that part up.

I just laugh at fanboyism in general (I mean every where, not the thread). Really?
I feel like it's 5th grade again and it's NES vs. Master System argument in the school yard. Please. There are 30 and 40 year old men arguing over a game system like their lives will be fundamentally changed when they launch, and it's live or die depending on the choice they make.At the end of the day, Sony did little but spin things. They DO still have DRM, but they are letting the publishers decide to implement. Do you really think ANY of the big games or studios won't do this? EA already did this gen with Online Pass.
So MS was more upfront, Sony used spin, and those who can't look past PR events have gone insane. At the end of the day, both systems will have DRM'd games, especially on the tier one titles, and for sure anything EA touches.
So everyone relax, and just buy the system that has the exclusives you prefer, and go outside once in a while (and not just because you had to board a plan to go to E3).

Hey... remember when PS4 got hacked and lost all your credit card numbers? Let's not all forge that.
