Everyone has a opionion of what did it, Oh and me and all my friends pre-ordered at gamestop before they changed. SO this is wrong. |
Well, there are misguided opinions, and there are facts.
The facts are that Gamestop wasn't having it.
They didn't stop preorders for vita or any other system ever, so either
A) pre-orders were worse than any console ever released
or something else.
There is another something else involving gamestop.
The one change was the used games portion, and requiring the azure cloud to be integrated into their system.
Now, we could listen to MS say they did it for the feedback.
Or we could listen to Gamestop.
It may be your "choice" to trust MS on what they are saying, but the firm rejection from the reseller community is likely the big thing here.
Remember that the azure cloud integration has 100% responsibility over all the digital they wanted to do. If gamestop didn't accept the azure cloud, it would necessitate the 180.
A lot of xbox guys like to say that they wished MS stuck to their guns. People say "if Henry Ford had listened to consumers he would have made faster horses". Etc, etc. All of this blame is being placed on the consumer, for whatever reason. The problem was with gamestop, and revolved entirely around used games, which was a huge problem with consumers as well.
Call it a simple coincidence, but MS would not have changed anything for you.
