MS's only issue was price. they won the marlet by offering the same product at a better price. Now with out the added features they had, they are more xpensive with nothing to show for it. I dont thin this will help them any. they would need a price cut to make a difference now.

EXACTLY! Someone gets it!

Isn't this what everyone was fighting for? They all said to remove the pointless DRM. I guess now we see the point... Also I don't understand how you complain about downloading a patch but tout the PS4s online features. Plus there has never been a MS console that could be reset to factory settings so where are you getting that from?

People weren't fighting for the removal of family sharing or against having your digital games available in the cloud. They wanted off-line play and disc ownership, next to digital. There is no reason not to keep the digital side the same as planned as a big incentive to get people to transition to digital over time. There must be more going on that MS completely nixed the family sharing plans. If it was all in place why not simply keep it for digitally bought licenses.

I'm guessing the firmware turns off anything that was tied to the DRM which would encompass digital sharing. Otherwise they would probably have to delay the launch in order to rework the functions of the console.
