The people complaining about always on Internet and Kinecf were never planning on buying a Xbox One to begin with.

After M$ changed their Internet policy the Kinect was the last excuse they had to use. I watched threads at neo f a g and every other post was about someone not buying it because the NSA would be watching them through their Kinect (same people who own smartphones no doubt).

Microsoft is trying to make a ghost happy. These people will never buy an Xbox One. They need to cut the shyt out.

I think with the headsets, somebody realized what helped make gold better than PSN in the beginning stages was that everybody had a headset. I dont know they even thought about not having one in the box (of course I know they just wanted more money)

With taking the kinect being plugging in requirement away, I think it was more of the what happens if it breaks, or malfunctions? and also the privacy concerns. I dont think it had anything to do with preorder #s

I know people like to point to amazon numbers, but you could preorder the X1 from your 360, also I wonder how many of those numbers will actually go thru on amazon, since you dont need anymoney to preorder.

I think the changes are a good thing from a business standpoint. A lot of people were already on board, and now they are just eliminating other people's excuses not to buy one.

Come Christmas 2014 when the $500 TitanFall bundle hits shelves, Sony gone have a problem on their hands:wow:

Why didnt they think about that before then? instead of backpedaling

The product has not released yet.

What electronics company do you know of that enages with its users during development and makes changes in accordance to feedback?

There is no way that you can spin this as a negative. But I'm sure y'all will try:heh:

Come on son. This shyt has nothing to do with consumer feedback. MS' stance was no, nothing is going to change with "our vision". Don't want the kinect, buy a 360, need a headset, buy one, not changing our always online rule, etc. Their stance was they were not going to change a thing no matter what the consumer said. MS knows that this is a numbers game and their numbers weren't looking good.

Who cares, by the time the product is announced and presented these major things need to be planned out already.. thats why im saying they are backpedaling NOW, the weak preorders compared to PS4 is the reason for this.. thats all im saying

Nobody knows the preorder numbers, but go ahead and act like amazon charts mean anything
