The worst parts about the original plan for Xbone were the online only aspect, and the inability to trade in physical games without limitations. As I said back then, Titanfall or not, had they launched limiting your ability to lend or trade or sell your games, I would have been all in on PS4. Thank goodness they changed it after the backlash.
On paper their current philosophy aligns a lot with the launch Xbone strategy but in reality, not so much. Xbone was just an utter disaster strategy for consumers in pretty much every way imaginable. Now they have about as great a digital strategy for consumers as possible, but it's still completely optional and you can live entirely on physical games with zero restrictions.
