The more I think about it, I think Microsoft has simply done the PR/accounting math internally and determined that the number of gamers and their money that will they lose with their long term strategy is simply offset by the TV/sports revenue they will again from the apologists and people willing to swallow their DRM demands.
Which is fair I guess, it is a business with shareholders after all. The market will do what it does, customers will hopefully vote with their dollars. Gamers are simply not the long term target audience of the Xbone, they're just a sidebar/side income stream.
