Yeah, they recently went back on almost everything they said. The damage is already done though and it's still not going to bode well for microsoft.
They are still 100 bucks more expensive and only loyal fanboys will pick it up over the PS4.
We already started this discussion about the two consoles in this thread.

Also one minor detail about the DRM issue. Both consoles are leaving it up to third party developers as to how they want to deal with it so most likely games from EA and Activision will have some sort of DRM.
