Microsoft is only implementing these things now because they were fucked otherwise.
If Sony would have gone ahead and followed in tow with Microsoft /nothing/ would have changed.
Their update means nothing. Still a greedy, money hungry company that doesn't care for its actual fan base.
Even with the changes to the Xbox I think a lot of people will stick with PS4.
First of all Microsoft have pissed a lot of people off and secondly, would you trust them ? What's to stop them reverting back on this down the line....
