Can Microsoft's U-turn stop the Xbox 360 becoming another XP?

Too big for its britches

I'm happy for Microsoft's reversal. When the PS3 was first released it had no concerns for the competition and came out with an overly expensive console while also experimenting with DRM and rootkits with its music CDs. Now they've released their lowest priced console to date, once figuring in the price of inflation, with a strong DRM free commitment.

Likewise with this release it seemed that Microsoft had no regard for its competition and I'm glad its taken this U-turn now; because frankly when the gaming industry doesn't have viable competition, the console makers become tyrants.
