I think we should just let people buy what they want to buy. If there are people who are fine with the XO's restrictions, and there will be a lot of people who are, then that's fine with me. Those restrictions aren't the worst things in the world by any stretch. There are plenty of people who have stable internet connections, who live in supported countries, who are going to trade their games in at GameStop when they're done with them anyway, and they won't have a problem at all with the way the XO handles things.
I'm definitely leaning toward the PS4, make no mistake, but I don't really have a problem with the idea that others might like the Xbox One more. It's got a lot of positives going for it, even if there are some negatives.
If the XO fails then I hope it fails because people genuinely don't want to buy it, rather than as part of a concerted effort to coerce people away from it. That, to me, is how the market should work. Of course, I also think "anti-consumer" is kind of a meaningless term in a capitalist world and that there are people who are acting far too entitled over the products of a for-profit industry.
