MS wanted to create a Steam like environment that also allows physical game selling/reselling/lending cause they felt that the masses(and obviously retailers) werent exactly ready for an all digital console. This whole idea was absurd and couldnt happen without things like 24 hour check. Its was MS looking out for everyone that caused the XBone problem. How could Sony really forsee that.
Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.
Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.
