Interestingly, I think something that some think is a plus for the One, EA Access, is actually going to turn gamers off of the One. I bet EA will have the gall to put a lot of the content for their games behind a paywall, but only for the One. I mean, why not? We have gone an entire gen of Xbox fans defending having to pay to access things other console providers have allowed access to free of charge, instead of demanding access be free for them, too. You reap what you sow.
However, EA WILL NOT have the balls to keep that content from players on this gen' s lead console. That's where greatly more sales and potential buyers of DLC are, anyway. To do so would be suicidal. Sony knew where they were headed with this program, and also knew it would lead to less value in PS+ if every publisher had their own service, so they said no. MS was looking for ANYTHING that would look like a plus for the One, even if it might hurt them long term.
