People were expecting it to put the XBO over the PS4 in WW sales, LOL.

I hope it's a success because it's the product made for gamers. PS4 is one of the finest pieces of work a company ever released in the console gaming market, actually maybe the best period.
They give the consumers freedom when the rival tries to put them in chains (and they could go along and people wouldn't have where to run), they are in big financial problems and still can provide a best price on a better consoler over the one made by one of the richest companies in the world when again, they would be the logical one to overprice it to try to get the most of it. And even with the lack of money, they are always delivering high quality cutting edge tech games as Driveclub (even having server problems in the beggining) and Infamous this year, and The Order 1886 and Uncharted 4 next year (Bloodborne as well).

Sony is the reason console gaming haven't declined as everyone was thinking.
This generation being a sucess since the start and a possible future good generation happening after it is all in PS4's account.
I hope it sells as much as it's possible can.

And some people still keep wanting to see Sony going out of business... sigh.

Yea, Sony's a pretty damn good company.  One that actually seems to learn from its mistakes.  It also helps that some of the higher ups seem like some of the coolest people, like Shu and Kaz.  House doesn't seem so bad, either (at least what I have seen from him.)  I also don't see them going out of business.  They seem to be making the mistakes of the past, dropping or lowering the investment on divisions that have caused them losses.  It just takes more than a year or two to fix a company that was making poor decisions for about a decade or so.

@Bolded final statement

 

This alone shows me just how little they can be trusted from a consumer standpoint. 

A Microsoft lead gaming industry is a downright scary thought. I am shocked at how easily some forgive them, believe their BS about caring about gamers, then only to watch them try their anti-consumer tactics again, not even a year later.

The moment they see an opportunity to try and bring these anti-consumer practices back, don't hesitate for a moment thinking that they won't do it.

Forget about forgiving them.  What scares me is how many people TRUMPETED these decisions, saying they were the future, just because it was from MS's mouth.  Some who still say they are mad that they changed them, yet also like how well the XBO is doing in the US/UK.  Maybe they don't realize it but you can't have it both ways.  If they stubbornly kept their old policies, I doubt the XBO would have sold any better than the Xbox.

As for your Family Share program comment, I'm pretty sure it was revealed that the vast majority of the sharing was going to be extended demos for your other family members.  So, yea, if people honestly thought they were going to give away 9 copies of a game to people on your "family list," they had another thing coming.
