Aizio's 101: Microsoft U-turn decision. What’s the cache?

Microsoft confirmed changed its restriction policies regarding the Xbox One’s always online connection, used games and region locked features. According to Microsoft blog, “as a result of feedback from the Xbox community, we have changed certain policies for Xbox One.”  and stating the past policies are “no longer accurate.” Xbox boss Don Mattrick said Microsoft "believes in the benefits of a connected, digital future," and thanked gamers for their assistance in helping Microsoft "reshape the future of Xbox One." 

This is however, not a surprise for me regarding the decision from Microsoft. It is expected. Meaning now that the Xbox One:

i-  Will NOT require a 24-hour connection to the internet to play games and connection is required ONLY during setting up at a one-time system with a new Xbox One. You can take your Xbox One anywhere you want and play your games, just like on Xbox 360.

ii- Will also NO longer restrict used games, and will instead allow discs to be exchanged in the same way they are on Xbox 360. There will be no additional restrictions for trade-ins or lending games to friends. No limitation to using and sharing games.

iii- Will also NO longer be region locked and all downloaded games will function the same way whether your console is connected or not.

I’ve gave you my reasons on what I don’t like about the Xbox One in my previous post and the U-turn from Microsoft seem to me a little too late and the damage had already been done. Although there are positives responses from most of the Xbox fans, but I think this is somewhat a marketing strategy from Microsoft. I’m not saying that this is bad but there always a cache in everything. Yes, they’ve heard you Xboxers, but why do it now? Since the launch of Xbox One, Microsoft was not truly being honest to you and now they want you back by giving something that you want to hear. Too many uncertainty that raise yet you still trust this kind of people? I doubt they'll make another reverse and I hope they DON’T. I’m not Xbox haters or Sony’s fan boy I’m just being sceptical about it. Bottom line we’ll wait and see whether Microsoft can walk the talk after Xbox One sells this November.
