The blind faithful are very entertaining. Microsoft is extremely thankful for your blind loyalty and you will all be rewarded with a brick that doesn't play any games in 5 years.

This is what I see happening. I see Sony and MS going this route, failing and then console gaming just dying out. Console gamers certainly aren't going to just jump on board and change like so many people think. Instead, it's just going to kill it.

Yes, this is what a lot of gamers overlook, or conveniently ignore in favor of a romantic notion of having an extra special sauce for a limited amount of time. People that buy into this are effectively agreeing to only renting a game for full price instead of owning it, and Microsoft in this case (Sony just as much when they go down this road) in turns basically owns those people.
