"Even the DRM would not be a "real" problem because even the Xbox 360 is pretty much just a Box without Xbox Live"

Wow...no it is a big deal because people like to have freedom with their games, even after Xbox Live is not support on the 360 people can still hang on to their games and play them forever or sell them, with the previous policies people's games would have become paper weights on the X1 after the system was done being supported and Microsoft would have forced people to buy the next Xbox.


It only became a real problem after the PS4 was announce to be at $400 with no restrictions. Before E3 Xbox one was the most pre-ordered and "best selling per hour" game console on Amazon. And 2 weeks after the PS4 was announce at $400, PS4 launch, KZ bundle, Battefield Bundle even the PS4 regular console were among top 10 "best Selling" per hour on Amazon.

Is the Xbox one DRM anti-consumer? Yes... Do I support it? No.      Do I think that DRM would be a problem for MS to sell the Xbox one if the PS4 was not $100 cheaper? No,  because their main target are US and UK where Internet is pretty decent in those countries.

That doesn't matter, you insuated that without Live on the 360 that it is pretty much the same as the X1 with its DRM policies which is completely wrong and is what I explained.  Also if the X1 and PS4 were both $400 and the X1 had the DRM policies and the PS4 didn't idk how anyone can say the X1 would do fine...You act as if the US and UK markets would buy the X1 no matter what Microsoft tries to do.  Also the issue isn't if the internet is good or not, its having freedom to do what someone wants with what they spend hundreds of dollars on.  I have good internet and I wouldn't go anywhere near the X1 if it still had those DRM policies.
