Microsoft got enough hate for that when they said that there will be a needed day one patch but since it is necessary for their "new politics" after they got so much hate for what they had planned, people can obviously live with it because they asked for the change.
And we had already discussion about the PS4 patch yesterday. I think many said that the Wii U problem was the time it took for many and not the patch itself. And if the 300mb download will take much longer as normal for some people there will be enough posts about that at release but not a month before.
It is absolutely normal that they will increase the quality of the products with regular updates. Not only at launch but also the years after.
