Did you just say $599, but but Sony doesn't Rip off customer just look at the PS4.

As a gamer who enjoys what the Kinect brings, why would I feel betrayed by anything you listed?

DRM reversal has no negative effect on any of us, sans the cancelation of the family share feature, which could have ended up being crap anyway for all we know.

Kinect reversal doesn't effect me either. I guess if you're someone who needed to have an Xbox One and doesn't like Kinect, that could bother you.

Price meandering.. there have been some bundles and an alternate SKU without Kinect.

Idk what PS4's price has to do with it. If you're not satisfied with the console and are looking at PS4, that goes a bit beyond what the thread is asking.

just al lik bit

bought day one Kinect edition including fifa 14) for 450 euro
could bought kinectless Version including destiny for 299


i want Kinect, so ist a ~100 euro pricecut
ist okay. i just want some benefit to be a day one user

The Xbox One is selling just as poorly as the Wii U did during the same period - perhaps slightly better, but not much. The Xbone is getting most (if not all) of the 3rd party software the PS4 is getting, but it's not getting the same amount of sales. I believe this is due to the fact that:

1) People are still bitter about the DRM policies Microsoft wanted to implement.
2) The Xbone doesn't have many first party exclusives.

That's it. Now, one could argue that the PS4 also doesn't have many first party exclusives, but the PS4 was certainly marketed a heck of lot better than how the Xbone was marketed. That extra push was all the PS4 needed to get to where it's at today. Of course, that's just for hardware sales. Software sales is another matter altogether.

Microsoft needs more exclusive titles. They need to set their system apart from the PS4. If they have a system that just resembles another one, but just less powerful, then they will never get ahead of the PS4, let alone, the Wii U.

Look if you have a decent PC a XB1 simply does not have a strong reason to compel people to drop $399 or $499... I probably would have bought a XB1 by now as MS was forced to change, they did not listen to the consumer base as some hardcore followers would like to think... they listened to sales numbers and anger, had they really listened this would never of happened in the first place. However the problem I have now is simple, the games I wanted to play on the XB1 I can now get on PC! I see absolutely no reason at all to get a XB1.

Although I didn't buy an XOne I can't imagine someone tripping over spending $500 after all the reversals. Day one buyers especially, they know that price will go down over time.
