When asked about the negative reaction of the internet and E3 towards Xbone's DRM, Microsoft Xbox Chief Marketing and Strategy Officer Yusuf Mehdi replied: "I think it's fair to say there's a segment of consumers at this show in particular who really pay attention, who are very passionate about all aspects of gaming, and that we listen to closely. In a broader set of community, people don't pay attention to a lot of the details. We've seen it in the research, we've seen it in a lot of the data points."

Sounds to me like he is saying that they will get away with the DRM because most consumers are too ignorant. Do you agree?

Well that's the main discouraging theory, but of course that's not true and it will never be true.

Look at the Facebook pages of Sony, Microsoft or even Gamestop and such. Look at video games forums, looks are video games blogs BUT ALSO at general tech blogs or consumer blog.

There's a HUGE backlash.

Plus we tend to forget that video games is a FAN market, wether people are 16 or 30, MOST video game consumer AREN'T casuals.
