Incredible.
A thread about why people should forgive Microsoft, turns into a group of people whining over a petty rumor and an opinion.
Good thread, OP. Ive gone from maybe buying one down the line, to definitely buying one.
Policies were terrible. Nice to see things chamge so quickly. Will take a long time to win back the trust, though.

All good and well that OP wants people to forgive MS....thats great and id probably agree at this point.
But when the reasoning behind it is so poor, biased and non factual what more do you expect?
Some publishers have openly said they are not in favour of no used games etc. Yet OP still mentions those publishers and tries to shift blame.
And should MS be forgiven just because Sony was thinking of it too? I mean really what has Sony got to do with any of this? And again Sony were pretty clear about their policies from day 1.
Bad reasoning all round.
If OP wanted to encourage good discussion then he needs to actually think about what hes arguments are. Some good points would have been:
1. MS are actually focusing on core titles - great exclusives coming to Xbone. What better reason to "forgive" them.
2. They reversed their policies when they could have just stuck with it and thrown a shit ton of marketing at the issue.
3. MS showed some sort of visionary with the console and how they see gaming moving forward. Perhaps with better timing, and a better implementation strategy things can go well.
4. Some of the decisions they made genuinely had the gamers interest at heart.
That would have made for a far better discussion than the usualy fanboyish rhetoric "The publishers forced them!!", "Sony was gonna do it as well!!!", "Why dont people give Sony a hard time too!!!"......
