Chances are most people who are Microsoft fans are invested in the brand and will probably defend whatever it is doing next-gen. I guess what I'm trying to say is that Xbox fans will buy it no matter what. Trivial restrictions such as no used games, always online and media focus won't matter once the next Halo hits stores.
If you look at this gen with the Xbox 360:
-Red Ring of Death
-No Wifi in early Xbox 360s
-Pay to Play Online
-Huge focus on Kinect
All this stuff didn't stop the XBox 360 from being the #1 consoles for months and months. Microsoft would have to fuck up really bad for people to switch over next-gen. The current negative rumors are unfortunate, but they're don't prevent the system from being competitive.
