Most of the updates are in response to the overwhelmingly negative response the company has received since the console's debut and its reception at E3. The update specifies that the Xbox One will not require a daily internet connection for games to be playable, that Microsoft will not restrict used games, and that region-locking will also be dropped. But that was the final draft, polished by Microsoft's PR team.

Here is Don Mattrick's original uncensored first draft:

Videogame advertising should be almost impossibly simple: all anyone needs to hear is that it's a videogame, it's fun to play, and…that's it. "Videogames are fun, you should buy this one because look how fun it is!" Nothing more is necessary.
