A lot of the original plan is still there and a lot is yet to come and heavily expected by the community... You just have to check on the user voice and half of what is asked was in the original plan... beside the 24h check, the online DRM and package Kinect everything has been kept implemented differently or slightly postponed.. I'd hardly call that a 180 in reality very little has been changed... Beside pleasing retailers which are the true gamers enemies anyway now I don't see why they would take out an HDMI in port, it doesn't cost shit and it doesn't influence the OS either... It would cost them more to redesign the console and change the OS... So I highly doubt it... The OS for sure since 5million++ with it have it already.. but then again who knows... The useless whiners might wanna go for a 540° of uselessness LOL |
See this is the kind of compramise that kinda saddens me.
MS jumped through hoops and said Kinect was pivital to what that wanted to do with the X1. We were told the X1 would NEVER be released without a Kinect and they did! This was no small part of the intial strategy that they beat into the consumers head.
Then the DRM, this again was no small thing... They wanted to tell the consumer what they could do with the items they purchased! Clearly they underestimated the consumer... I mean had they done a tiny bit of market research they could have dodged a bullet and insteat BAM walked right into it. They have no idea how the used game market works and how it fuels many new game purchases. They just assumed that everyone that buys used will just buy new and I can't tell you how big of a blunder that was! I mean monumentaly stupid everyone involved deserves to be unemployed bad.
Always online! Remember when people made a big stink about this? You know the people that have issues with stable connections or limited access (some military personal for example) and MS fired back saying hey we have a console for you and it's the 360? Remember that? Again how dumb was that. This was suposed to be huge also and again manditory.. but alas back track.
Not to mention the slew of "features" that were to be built around this clusterfugde approach? So you say "very little" has changed... really? The XBox One that was to originally released is vastlty different that what we have now.
It's one of the reasons I will NEVER own a XB1, see when a company assumes your stupid and then treats you like a mindless sheep then shoes NO remorse then I will just take my entertainment dollar and go on to the next guy. See by buying one you are saying you are ok with what MS tried to do, you may not feel that is right but in the end they see it as a win because they got your money... they beat you.
