I am hugely disappointed at this reversal. MS should have stuck to their gun, waited to see the results. I don't agree with their DRM and game policy, but I can buy PS4 instead. There are plenty of people who do agree with MS policy, and I feel those people got robbed of an potentially interesting purchasing option.
We had 2 distinct consoles and 2 very different gaming models, now we have only one. I say to each his/her own, if people are willing to put up the DRM crap for a digital/cloud system, they should be able to have that option.
Before:
People who like cloud/digital medium - Xbox1
People who don't care - PS4
After
People who like cloud/digital medium - ???
Everyone else - PS4/Xbox1
This reversal isn't a victory, it's bad news.
