I see your point, but even if Titanfall is timed, I'm not waiting a year to play it. All I know is the games I'm more interested in right now are on the Xbox.They changed back not because they saw the feedback and wanted to satisfy the customers, because no one pre-ordered the box and they had to react or else they'd have lost at least the first year to Sony well before the thing was even out.
Enough people voiced their displeasure on the potion of DRM in the Xbox well before they announced their plans to implement it on the Xbox, and what Willkiller said about their messaging from the beginning as an entertainment box first and games second is what makes it very difficult for me to care.
Also most of the games I want on it (TitanFall and Below) are timed exclusives so I'd rather wait.
