Its like they forgot the PRISM spying thingy + Kinect Shipping with Xbox One, and MS admitting do give out data when asked for it.
They forgot the 24/7 always online (or atleast once a day login, or your console wouldnt do anything, but ask for internet access)
They forgot you couldnt resell a game (even if physical), lock license at install and 3rd party could decide the unlock fee.
They forgot Orginally Xbox wouldnt have Backwards Compatability either.
They forgot alot of the TV features for it, would only work in the US (who cares about the rest of the world?)
They forgot it would be heavily region locked.
They forgot MS was caught secretively paying Youtuber's and other social media people for positive coverage (US Federal Trade Commission ruled so).
....


Probably more things but I forgot them.
The point is, MS is only "consumer friendly" because it has tough competition from the PS4.

It’s easy to forget given what an incredible 180 they’ve made. Luckily we have gamers like you, burned so badly by it that you’ll constantly remind us; regardless of how irrelevant it may be to the discussion.

By the way the same criticism applies to Sony and all these other big corporations who are looking to make money off of you. I mean I could reply with a long list of stuff Sony has done but who fucking cares. Qualify it however you want, MS has been extremely consumer friendly this gen.
