Xbox One digital features like game loaning may return
Gamespot asked Spencer about features like family sharing and game loaning, which were axed when gamers reacted badly to the concept of an always-online, DRM-driven console platform. The executive’s response gives some hope for those features making a comeback, despite Microsoft’ startling u-turn.
“We are now fully heads down on thinking about and building out the future of our digital marketplace to enable what people would expect, and hopefully some things that will delight them beyond their expectations,” Spencer said.
“I know when I say this I always get beat up, but I think some of what we were trying to say last summer was right.”
Although Microsoft is now committed to retail and offline gaming, Spancer said the company believes in “a digital future” for the Xbox One.
“We understand what games you own and who you are and how you move around and who you might want to loan rights to your games or gift your games to,” Spencer said.
“We totally believe in that future. And any other marketplace you play in, these kind of mechanisms are out there.”

This is the reason why I have not purchased either system yet. I'm waiting until Microsoft lowers prices and decides what they are doing with DMR. I'm also waiting on Sony to clear up some of there next generation titles as well as the hardware direction they are going to be jumping onto.
As of right now Xbox isn't really on my list until they change several things.

I actually cannot wait for those features. I wish more features had been unveiled at launch, but people are too stupid to see them as beneficial. That is the problem with the uneducated masses being allowed to voice their opinions.
