No. M$ fully intended to take a hit in sales.

There's a hit in sales and then there' rolling back a strategy they had been supporting rabidly straight up to two days before.

The M$ fanboys couldn't let the changes go and kept spreading misinformation which probably made M$ bottom line look worse off then they expected. If people simply spoke with their wallets instead of their keyboards we wouldn't have missed out on this awesome ass feature.

It may still appear for digital purchases. We'll see how that turns out.

Also 1 copy between ten people is better than 1 copy between hundreds. I think you grossly underestimate how much a single used game can cycle through people. I guess publishers followed the concept of give a little to get a lot.

I get the feeling they hadn't really talked to the publishers about it much when they announced it. A lot of XBOne's policies didn't seem fully fleshed out like they were making them up as they went...

That aside, The Order looks like a squad based third person shooter. Other than that, I don't think there's much info to be had right now since it hasn't been in development all that long.
 
My gaming journalist friend told me about the share feature like a month before the X1 reveal. I guess they at least ran something by publishers. I just think M$ is too "suit and tie" for their own good.

After what my boyfriend went threw with Sony I'm very iffy about putting my credit card on a console. Especially after all the heat M$ is taking. Hopefully they keep the bing rewards program when they switch over to real currency. That will help a lot.

I just want something fresh for the shooting game genre. Zombies and enemy soldiers are tried and true. Whatever they were shooting at in The Order looked promising. Hopefully it isn't just your typical "run straight at a barrage of bullets" type of monster. It will most likely be fun but the AI seriously needs to be stepped up next gen.

Amazon.com's TOP SELLING game related product for the past 8 straight days now has been the Xbox One over PS4.

Xbox One pre-orders are selling like hot cakes, my local Gamestop is sold out of pre-orders due to overwhelming demand.

Minnesota Mall of America's Microsoft store was sold out of Xbox One pre-orders due to popular demand.

Anyone who says Microsoft did what they did for the sake of "sales" is a complete liar. That or they're just ill-informed. I'm glad Microsoft changed their policies, but at the same time I'm fine with their other policies supporting publishers. Either way, it just took away anything Xbox haters had to complain about.
