MS says gamers will buy everything, including Xbox One

Linux support was a niche feature that almost no one used. Comparing that to used games limitations is like night and day. You do have a point though, both are anti-consumer. Removing b/c from the Slim models isn't anti-consumer though. If it is then I guess Nintendo is also screwing over consumers by removing Gamecube support from the Wii mini?

Actualy they're not. They keep saying something then going back saying something else in a different interview.

Doesn't matter if it's niche feature, it was still a feature and it was still removed, the consumer lost something, regardless if they used it or not. (I personally used it!)

As for removing the backwards compatability, it is anti-consumer.
The playstation 3 was advertised to be compatible with playstation 2 games, then Sony removed that functionality, some people may have bought into the PS3 after Sony made those changes and got gipped.

The moral of the story though, is that all companies are more than happy to take something away from gamers at any time for what-ever reason.
Now if only we can talk them into taking DRM away and keeping it away forever! :P
