It doesnt matter what they think about me as the gamer. If Sony had not opposed DRM EA's dropping of online passes would not have been in vain Now they cannot take it back. Microsoft definitely put in DRM on the Xbox to please EA. They thought that it would pressure Sony, but it didn't. EA backed away once they saw the people were behind Sony. Since then every time Sony makes a right move MS has been dropping old policies to align themselves. 

Again...if Microsoft wanted their Xbox resemble the 360 they would've done it from the start. 

You keep saying that if they wanted a 360 they would have done it from the start...  They didn't want that, they were trying to evolve the console platform.  When it didn't get accepted, they went back to what worked for them, the 360 business plan.  It doesn't matter if EA wanted it or if Sony didn't.  Either way they tried it and the consumers said NO.  So they went back to their 360 plan.


LOL.....Wow you're trying so hard to rationalize this aren't you?


Rationailze what?  For you, everything M$ does is somehow related to matching Sony.  Yet, if i said that they did it to anwer the consumer, you would say no.  Then why is Sony doing anything that it is doing if not for the consumer.  M$ went from 25 Million Xboxes to 78+ Million 360's by listening to their consumers and providing something that they wanted.  They thought(mistakenly) that the XBone was going to do the same thing in its original incarnation.  The consumers told them NO, so they went back to their 360 plan that obviously worked for them.  What makes me LOL is that you and most of the other people with similar comments want to give Sony so much credit for doing nothing.  I atleast give M$ credit for trying something different, and hope that they keep trying.  That will be the only way that we will see any innovation.  The only innovation coming from Sony is coming from their 1st party studios, not Sony themselves.
