Well you see, if it suits your agenda, you could easily call listening to the consumer "doing the bare minimum" or "doing what they had to do so xbox would still exist" or some equally silly attempt to distance their actions and intent from trying to provide a product consumers will buy.

Still scratching my head at people saying MS lied or that they deserve an apology. These companies change policies and strategies all the time and I never see an apology. In fact the only two times in my decades of gaming that I remember apologies are the RROD and the PSN hacking fiasco, and both of those warranted apologies. Believing your Kinect product to be a great piece of tech that gamers will want and developers will utilize and finding out neither are particularly true is not something that warrants a damn apology LOL. Kind of like Sony calling rumble a "last gen feature" and then quickly coming out with a rumble controller.. there didn't need to be an apology packed inside each Dualshock 3.

 

MS wasnt listening to anyone but themselves. It wasnt until Gamestop lowered Microsofts preorder numbers that they changed their ways.

I don't think Gamestop lowered MS's preorder numbers nor could they actually do that. They were already low to begin with. Also, MS had additional warning signs prior to preorders such as the surveys and IGN giving the PS4 the People's Choice Award right after the X1 reveal. People may argue that the surveys aren't accurate and yaddi-yada-yada, but the disparity was so huge that even with a +/- 10% margin of error, the surveys would still be lopsided.
