It's literally like they copied Sony's PS3 launch marketing plan and decided, "how can we make this even worse?" I mean, ****. I remember this last round thinking there was no ****ing way nobody would top Sony claiming people will want to work Overtime to buy our Playstation 3.
Basically to sum up Microsoft from their xbone unveil to now is, "**** you. Buy Xbox!"
Nintendo had a pretty bad E3 too. They did show some cool games, but I don't think people want to spend $349 for a couple cool games. I'm really surprised they are staying at that price point.
E: Peter Moore, COO of EA, talked about the super rich enhanced DRM features exclusively on the Xbone

Polygon: The narrative I've heard is that EA lobbied hard to have the hardware companies come up with a solution so you guys are not faffing around with online passes and you're not losing potential used game profits to retailers.
Moore: "Absolutely incorrect. As the guy who is the chief operating officer of Electronic Arts I can tell you that EA did not aggressively lobby for the platform holders to put some gating function in there to allow or disallow used games. I am on record as being a proponent of used games. I like the ecosystem. I like the fact that it's kept pricing at a good level for eight years. I like the fact that someone can buy a physical game and see some equity in that game. That keeps GameStop vibrant and they are a great launch and marketing partner for us.
"EA has never had a conversation, and I have been present at all of them, with all of the manufacturers, saying you must put a system in place that allows us to take a piece of the action or even stop it. Absolutely incorrect."
