the answer is in your post. they thought only people with good internet were worth making their product for.
and after the uproar, you still think DRM isnt a 'real' issue?

if you ignore the competition you fail
if you ignore the end consumer you fail
if your whole organisation gets tunnel vision and ignores feedback and market research, you fail.

I bet it took major shareholders to storm into xbox HQ and make the employees see the light before it got on track again. i dont think they messed up, the whole world KNOWS they messed up.

Did you read the post with an open mind??? So you really think MS forgot about the competition and ignore consumer??? Don't you remember Xbox fan people even getting mad after Xbox did the 180 on DRM. Ask yourself that question, if PS4 was $500 or $600, you think DRM would still be the big story, specially in the US where MS has a much better control over the media??? MS was able to sell to people that the Xbox is cheaper than $600 PS3 which is false after 5 years of XBL. That is the kind of promoting, advertising and media control MS has... Even today you will hear people saying $500 on Xbox one doesn't matter event with 720p graphics.

You  have got to give credits to SONY for doing such a wonderfull jobs, the end of SONY E3 was one of the greatest "Finish Him" (mortal kombat style) I have seen in the gaming industry.

I cant read with an open mind because youre using too many if's.

all im saying is that regardless of the price, the DRM they were planning to implement was always going to be an issue for them.

I know some of its loyal fanbase stuck with them, and they would even if they charged €1000 for the thing and it would have still sold a few thousand units, but that doesnt mean they didnt mess up which is the title of this thread.
