I think he is referring to the PR disaster the Xbox One had a couple weeks back with the only online requirement, Kinect always listening and other lockdown mechanisms implemented on the machines making sharing games or similar things more or less impossible.

I don't know it this will have much impact on the actual sale numbers, the release date is still quite some time in the future and the PS4 despite all the love it currently gets from the gaming scene also requires a Sony account you have to pay monthly to be usable.

I am pretty sure it will play out like it always does: lots of complaining and in the end it will get bought nevertheless. [1]
