Reports of Xbox One's online requirements and used-game fees are no more than "potential scenarios" and not concrete details, Microsoft told Polygon via email.

"While Phil [Harrison] discussed many potential scenarios around games on Xbox One, today we have only confirmed that we designed Xbox One to enable our customers to trade in and resell games at retail," Microsoft told Polygon.

Lets hope they look at the reaction and change it fast!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The bad repercution received by these "features" at least seems to work in time to MS make a reviews of their plans.

Weird because Phil Harrison confirmed it twice...he had plenty of time to change his tune had he gotten it wrong earlier.

come who the hell is gaming today and doesn't have a wifi router ??? seriously this argument is just becoming ridiculous..... it's like bitching against school for asking you to bring pencils and paper to write on.....

and the fee is probably a request from devs directly.... so go bitch (bark) at the right tree....

so far I haven't seen anything that is really as bad as people make it look and way more things that actually appeal to me as a gamer and a media consumer compare to anything else on the market right now... from apple ecosystem, google ecosystem or PS offering.... nothing to me remotely match what MS is deploying since last summer.... and it's actually going way faster than any of the other ever went..... we finally will be able to see real innovation go forward like it was a decade ago before it became a pissing contest between brand image and patent trolls.....

idealy if SONY, STEAM and MS could merge we'd finally could go somewhere fast... but so far the only one looking like it wants to move forward rather than down your pocket is MS (and don't get me wrong they want to go there too heck they might even want to go deeper) but I much prefer their approach to it.... you can feel the maturity of the company, they have done the BS the other are doing now a decade or more ago.....

and same time at the end of next gen it will reflect on their stock price and market penetration, I have almost no doubt about it....

They didn't say anything was wrong, or even that nothing is set in stone. They merely said they have not officially confirmed anything today, which is true.*

*Assuming your VP's answers at a press interview in response to a direct question don't qualify as "official." Which admittedly they might not, who knows.

I tried to come up with a snarky response, but you've done what few members of this site have ever done: left me speechless. Bravo good sir, bravo.

That´s precisely it.All that info is coming directly from their VP!

yeah MS is going to re-evaluate this strategy and tell Phil to shut his mouth. The news has caused much outrage and Sony is in a good position if it plays its cards right. MS will have to scrap this fee idea. I don't see them making such a stupid move.

Damage control time.
