Analytikern Michael Pachter tror att Microsoft kommer att prissänka Xbox One under 2014 ifall den inte skulle hålla jämna steg med Playstation 4, men efter nyheten om Microsofts kovändning, tillägger han att det inte lär behövas.
"Microsoft intends to offer a more robust hardware bundle than Sony will offer, and Microsoft is convinced that consumers will ultimately appreciate the value proposition presented by Kinect", säger Pachter, rapportar CVG.
"Microsoft has not done a particularly good job of communicating the value proposition to consumers, but today's announcement will remove an impediment to the company's ability to get its message across. We are confident that with six months of focused messaging, Microsoft can fully level the playing field with Sony, and we expect the Xbox One to sell as many units as the PS4. If we are wrong, we think that Microsoft is prepared to lower price next year."
Håller ni med om att ändringarna i Microsofts DRM-policy räcker, eller krävs det också en prissänkning för att säkra Xbox Ones framgångar gentemot Playstation 4?
