I agree with you completely. Competition is what drives us forward. I have thanked Microsoft by buying both of their consoles and thousand and thousands of dollars worth of games and products. However, I will not support a company who are planning on stripping basic consumer rights.

I would prefer if maybe a different third company came in or Sega made a comeback. Anything but the XboxONE becoming successful.

Your only basic consumer right is having the option to buy the console. Nothing more.

I think the only other companies big enough to compete with the likes of Sony and Nintendo also want to go digital. So just deal with MS.

Sega make a comeback? My eyes can't stop rolling from the thought of that. The Sega we used to love is dead. DEAD!

I'm glad he stopped answering you because you make so little sense.

He is interested in MS' games but they are not allowing him to because they dip into what he considers to be unacceptably bad practices. The guy says to have spent thousands of dollars in xbox games and I would be ready to believe him. If that were the case, then I understand him being upset about the situation given that he actually WANTS  to buy the games but he can't as it goes against his principles.

I'm pretty sure he's aware that he can boycott, which he is doing, but it doesn't change the fact that, to him, MS has the option to not go anti-consumerist and allow him to buy the games they make that he enjoys. That's what he means by basic consumer right, the right to have ownership of the content you purchase. They are not letting him have that basic right though he wants to buy their games.
