LOL. So, they MUST be lying? Give it a rest. The bitching displayed in this thread already is why we'll never truly know what they had planned at launch.

Somehow, M$ gets bashed for both bad and good PR? WTF?

 

Yes Microsoft made a bad choice overall but more so due to the world not really being ready for an online centric console yet. Seemed one generation too soon really.

I'm getting pretty sick of people saying this as if this was what was threatening XBoxone's viability. MS wasn't ready for an online centric console because their gaming was still centred around selling discs. if MS was going to go all online they should have nixed any disc drive and gone 100% download. I bet an download only console would have sold better than a BRD DRM infested console. Always online / 24hr check in were only ever elements required to support BRD DRM. All other aspects of MS's online "vision" can still be implemented.
