Then the only problem becomes the lack of Sony exclusives and the $100 for the kinect that I do not really want.

Same here. I'm glad it's actually a hard decision again, though. Microsoft does have some neat looking stuff.

Honestly, it wouldnt surprise me, if they are keeping up with all the feedback, and I do believe they then they know they prolly should. Hell if you went on the Xbox Shun site you find all sorts of feedback  that would prolly make their belly turn. There preorder sales arent so high either, the PS4 has more preorders then Xbone. I hope they do change the polcies, they cant hope to have good sales for if they dont. If they change crap, ill consider getting one sooner, but if not then Ill wait a good long while.

If they do this I'll definitely get an Xbox 1 in the future. I never wanted to completely "hate" microsoft. They did a good job with the 360. (And it was also reasonably priced)

Honestly it's going to be awhile before I get either new console though. Sure, the PS4 is reasonably priced at $400.00 but that's still a lot of cash. I can swing it by saving up but it will still take a few months.

Regardless, the PS4 comes first. Aka, sony did right by me right out of the gate so I'm going to reward them for that.

Wouldn't suprise me if they did this, what with all the bad press they've been getting.  I'm still not going to get one right away, not until there are enough good games I want to play on it to warrant a purchase.  That's the deciding factor on when I buy a new console.

I guess it is officially true. 

I'm really happy MS finally listened! Still, they came into the game playing dirty so I'll still be getting a PS4 before an Xbox one! On the plus side, this will help the X box 1 survive to make a come back. Competition is always good for the industry!

they changed their mind, who is to say that they will not do it again?  Titanfall and that insomniac game are tempting, but not tempting enough.  I have faith that the PS4 will have superior exclusives.

That's the only thing I don't like. Aka, microsoft reserves its' right to change stuff at any given moment. However, now they have changed to be gamer friendly it stands to reason "being good to the consumer" is profitable. As such, trying to go back to their draconian policies at E3 would be counter-productive and they know it.

This is why we should all get a Wii U lol

Y'know, that argument holds actual validity and weight. lol.

That would have sent a big message to everybody.

Now just get rid of that creep cam!

I think if MS dropped the Kinect (making it optional but not necessary) and lowered the price they'd be neck and neck with Sony at this point. After all that Sony's only other bonuses would be region freedom, a more friendly space for indie games, and slightly better specs. It's good to see MS step up their game regardless! Their hubris from before was killing them quickly. Now they have a fighting chance.

PS: My bad,bra! MS is now region free too! Excellente!

I'll probably get an Xbone now. Not right away, but eventually I will.

I'll probably get an XBO if it's true.  It won't be anytime soon though.

Ah, the power of the consumer triumphs!

Score one for the almighty dollar! You don't think they did it for us,do you? Money talks and it appears their BS walks.

This was good news, better late than never. The lack of a mandatory camera, lower price and generally better history of gaming support from Sony still put PS4 well above Xbox One for me.

and the rest we can say is history....
