Microsoft has made major concessions with it's Xbox One. No longer will the console require an online connection and games can be bought and sold just like the 360.
This reversal marks a huge backdown by the software giant. So much so that wags online are now calling the new console the Xbox 180. You've gotta laugh.
More than the telling public storm, is the fact that PS4 sales were leaving the Xbox One dead in the water. Some markets reported PS4 sales were outstripping Xbox One by 7 to 1. Horrifying figures for Microsoft. Of course a viral video from Sony mocking Microsoft's ineptitude probably didn't help in the humiliation stakes either.
I'm still not buying an Xbox One. Not until I can play my current back catalog of games on it (see my previous blog post).
Come on Microsoft, do another 180 on this issue and you'll have a full 360. And you'll have a console I'll be willing to purchase.
