I suspect they think their market is so big that it doesn't really matter in the end. I just hope they're proven wrong.

For anyone interested, here's an inside look at the Xbone:



Wonder how much noise that fan will generate.
Too true, I had a somewhat lengthy discussion about a friend about the 2 consoles PS4 and Xbox One about where each of us leaning. I cited all the anti-consumer policies (the way I perceive them) as the main reason for avoiding the One. And he referenced the quality he's experienced with the 360 as being the main reason he's leaning towards it, even if my argument is that the 360 and the One are 2 completely different things, he even mentioned that I'm just critiquing without having used the console.

In any case this showed me how nonchalant and complacent the average consumer is towards how companies treat them. Don't get me wrong, there are certainly some consumers who will probably go for the One for legitimate reasons, but the average consumer doesn't actually consider the implications.
