It's not a shock to me because of the pre-sale orders. That was a pretty good gauge as to what MS was going to do. If the sales were close with PS, likely everything would have stayed as it was. Obviously it wasn't, so they had to do something - which was to "undo" the couple of major things that was keeping people from buying the console.
And yes, I agree it was a huge backtrack - but they under estimated how much people like used games & like selling their games.
