Why did MS change everything on the ONE?

Mr Puggsly above said it perfectly, competition.

Also, MS don't have the luxury of being a 'in' product with the Xbox to do the things they wanted, it's not an iPad in the tablet PCs world (certainly more competition there, iPad isn't even rated as the best but gets the sales because it is the in product in that market).

Never thought of that, but it makes quite a deal of sense. Microsoft tried to pull an Apple on the video game market: "here it is what we have and you guys going to like it".

But it took decades for Apple to be a mass appeal fashion/tech item, MS is still the "new kid on the block" on the video game industry, Sony and specially Nintendo have been around as console makers for much more time.

Not only that, but gamer don´t buy anything because it is "hot" or it is "on fashion". We buy it to have fun, and that transcends all the  "shallow girl´s Facebook photo-oportunities" that benefit Apple. We are a simple and honest bunch of people, and we demand simply and honestly fun video games, nothing else.

It was just a matter of aiming at gamers as they were shallow Apple consumers. Makes sense to me...
