| Dark_Feanor said: IMHO the problem was that people complained and MS reversed that policy BEFORE the product was out. It was pure and simple prejudice, and pointless comporation hate. But oh, they want things to be the some thing to be as it has been for 30 years, since with Atari 2600 and similars. Of corse MS failed to put out the message and convince hardcore early adopters. The fact, is that I look at my 4 and half years old iPod Touch and it looks and feel more "advanced" than the XOne looks today. |
That last statement is stupid, you can't play CDs on your iPod Touch, you know people still buy CDs right? :P
People don't have a thing against digital downloads/games. Never have, if they did MS, Nintendo and Sony wouldn't have stores via their systems. If MS just pitched 2 consoles, 1 with a drive and one without that is download only just cheaper, people would have been on board. It was the forcing people to log on once a day to prove to them that you didn't steal the game.
Their pitch for the new gen was "Your are all thieves and we don't trust you so..."
Hmm, pie.
