The Xbox One has been getting allot of hate in the post E3 time frame for several of their policies.(This is a fact)

However, initial rage & sales don't always match. Which of these current policies/decisions will actually be the biggest anchor to sales Microsoft needs to address to stand a chance.

-DRM/Used Games/24 check in

-Weaker Specs

-Region locking/limited release abroad

-Privacy concerns with Kinect 2

-499$

Personally, I say its price. Price is a huge factor in sales, and by bundling Kinect Microsoft's lost that battle by a significant margin.

To be competitive they need to either

A: Drop forced Kinect bundle/use, to drop price.

B:Take a huge @$$ profit hit for each console for long run gains.

C:Have a contract plan in place & fully supported at launch.

Price for the uninformed consumer (majority), Policies for the informed ones.

The price is the big thing. They will back away from it quickly, I think.

Privacy and and specs are non-issues.

For me, it's the exclusives. Though, I think Dead Rising is one. So that's not so shabby. I have a feeling Ryse will be a typical shallow Crytek game.

The fact that you need Internet to play single player games. That's going to be a detriment to people in rural areas, and "da hood". Lol And price. Morons will still buy it though thinking that cod is exclusive and the fools who can't live without their crumby post bungee halo.

If MS was hoping for some of that casual Ninty pie they priced it way too high.

The limited reach of consumers. With all the negativity, they are probably aiming for a niche group of diehard Xbox fanboys who will endlessly supply M$ with money as they keep trading games to each other paying the used game fee every time.

If the price was such a big factor for the 360 gaining a lot of the marketshare over the ps3, I dont see why this case would be any different.

When the word spreads that people can't rent games for it. The price at first until a bunch of people buy it and then talk to others that games can't be rented for it.
