It'll be all there at launch, only they are using a SW work around. That means that if they change their minds (not saying they will), all it will take is a simple FW update and everything is back to how they originally planned the Xbox One. And I would imagine MS has also spent quite a bit of money putting everything in place for this DRM, including a special network for retailers to go through if they want to sell One SW. Not sure if they are willing for that money to go to waste, completely. |
This is because DRM *is* software, if you don't know. You should especially know what firmware-updates can do and remove or add to systems. Sony could also implement DRM afterwards.
The costs I think are not that high. MS already had a global high-speed network so perhaps yes, there were costs, but it's not that they bury servers now in the desert.
