MS: "You can have 6 consoles, with 6 games being played by 6 people

S.T.A.G.E. said:

It is the future....in a sense of Apple (which then you would be correct)....problem is this is the gaming industry and not Apple where casuals want the all in one solution. Enthusiasts have mostly moved onto Androids that are less restrictive, which is also another proper analogy. I also wrote something after this last post. Theres no doubt that this is my opinion, but I am also analyzing what MS is saying.

I disagree with you. You see the gaming industry as a big block who cannot change...
Microsoft sees it differently and like any changes it is not welcomed at first but I think it is the right path.

It is a bet Microsoft is taking and while these self-proclamed "only-true-real-hardcore" gamers do not like it; many others do and if you add to that the casual market and even those who are not interrested into games; the Xbox One strategy may pay off.

I also disagree with your Android exemple; the majority of people buying android devices are buying them because they are just cheaper.
I think it is really a minority who want an "open/less-restrictive" system and the other majority does not really care or even know about this.
