Hey everybody. I know this thread seems fairly biased, but I'm just looking at it from the perspective I mentioned in the description. Microsoft's reversals so far are in fact good business decisions, but I feel as though the same can be said for Sony's many choices with PS3 (excluding Move & PSASBR). They were good business decisions that helped push the console.

If that's the case, then the original premise of your thread and the title are incorrect.

Your thread title and the original post insinuated that Microsoft copied Sony, when in fact they haven't copied them.

Active DRM:  They reverted to the passive DRM on the Xbox 360.
No Headset:  They reverted to the practice with the Xbox 360 of including a headset.
Indie Development:  They made every Xbox One a dev kit.

The only thing that they have copied Microsoft on is giving away games through their subscription-based service, but even there Microsoft is giving away full games for free.  Not lending them to you for as long as you have a subscription.  If there are two games you really want in a month, you can obtain an Xbox LIVE Gold subscription for that month and download the games, then they're yours forever.
