What should worry people is that they are doing this with a simple FW update. They're not completely taking what they have announced out of the system. 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. |
How do you know all this?
And sometimes companies make bad calls and make a loss, Microsoft did so with a company they bought years and years ago and lost $500 mill on it last year or something? I didn't think they would go back on these plans but they have, and now they have I find it really unfesible they'll change half way through which would cause an unimaginable shitstorm. It just sounds like ya'll trying to convince yourselves it's gonna happen?
Like I said, expect MS (and Sony) to be planning fully digital consoles for 2020 launch.

Kotaku reported that to enjoy the DRM reversal, Xbox One owners will have to connect to the internet with the One and download an update. I just find it strange they aren't just shipping the console with it already in place, but instead they are requiring customers to connect to the internet to update it themselves.
As for your last sentence, MS probably. Sony not so much.

I don't know either, perhaps it's something that can't be ironed out so quickly and so for the first batch there needs to be a patch, think of it like a day one patch for games.
Well in 2020 the world will be prepped for a digital only console and I think people will be expecting it at that point. Retailers will possibly survive by MS and Sony offering cheaper digital games to sell, I dunno. We'll talk about it when we get there!!
