A Vocal Minority Of Idiots (& Journalists) Ruin Innovations On The Xbox One

Pretty funny that the vocal minority seemed to be in the majority when the cheers happened on the Sony press conference. This idea that progress comes at the cost of the rights of the consumer needs to go away.

What microsoft presented us with is not, nor will be the innovation or the future. It needs to be tweaked and you need to give the consumer a choice and not force it down their throats. It just wouldnt ever happen in the form microsoft was trying to do it.

Nothing was lost here. On the contrary. We're now on the right track.

If you think nothing was lost, then either you have no internet connection, or you have no idea what you're talking about. The sharing policy of the XBO would, for many, many gamers, have been FAR better than the ability to trade in used games. I never sell my old games, and I have a fantastic internet connection. For me, and those like me, the XBO was a huge leap forward.

The consumer ALWAYS has a choice. But to consumers, simply not buying a product is not a choice, somehow. No, they must keep things where they are right now. I'm primarily a PC Gamer, and I saw the XBO as the device that would finally really move my gaming habits back to the living room. Well, good work, you get another generation of being looked down on (rightfully) by PC gamers.
