Consumer friendly products? What is going on?

They are loosing to Sony so they have to find new ways of competing for business. You know, how it's supposed to work.

Wish it worked that way more often.

You know what, this makes me so happy that I’ll give ‘em that:

“Good job capitalism!”

Now I got to go wash my fingers for typing that.

But just remember that during the 360/PS3 era when MS were in the lead, it was Sony trying to by all consumer friendly, advocating online cross play and having free online service.

MS weren't interested then.

Yeah haha. Regrettably doing right by the consumers because a competitor is.

Although I would not be surprised if they find a way to make a money pit out of it. (Such as not being chill like Sony and releasing on steam, forcing users on to the Windows store)
