I think that's normal actually. Only Sony (and soon Nintendo) will charge you for cloud saves. All PC platforms and XBL offer it unlimited and for free.
So the only console

so including rechargeable batteries is anti consumer now? lol. the reach.
No, since they tried very shady stuff THIS generation. The dialed back due to backlash, that doesn't mean it should totally be forgotten. Cross-buy / play with PC is imo the only truly brace thing they did that is totally pro-consumer, because it actually gives you a new choice.
MS is the reason consoles even charge for online in the first place! They started the whole paid online service with XBL way back
Yes, but to ask if it is king one does have to compare to other platform holders.I'm pretty sure 2013 is when XB1 launched and is thus part of this generation so yeah, its relevant.
This. 100%.There is no such thing as a "pro-consumer" corporation.
They are part of a broader strategy to win back customers lost at the start of the generation and also to compete with Sony which remain way ahead of them.
It's all strategies to increase revenue.
Of course they are technically "pro-consumer," but the ultimate goal is to increase market share at all costs.
It was the same with Sony when the Xbox 360 was way ahead during the previous gen.
People who love MS pro-consumer actions are the same rooting for EA/Ubisoft/Valve acquisitions and exclusivity?
But yes, now they are the most pro-consumer.
Do you need to pay a monthly recurring fee to play online games on their platform?
Sony PS3, and Nintendo WiiU era didn't suddenly became pro consumer when they were getting their asses served to them.
Well that changes things of course!
