Development on retail Xbox One units 'a wonderful idea', says Persson
Speaking with Edge, Persson commented, "I think it's a wonderful idea to have the actual box be the dev kits."
He went on, "This makes it easier for both the developer and for Microsoft, and presumably they could make it a lot cheaper since they'd only sell unlock codes.
"I realize there are other factors at play here, though, like a perceived need to make sure only 'legitimate' developers get access to it, so a monetary barrier might still be in place," noted Persson.
In yet another surprising revision of Xbox One policy, Microsoft announced Wednesday that it will not only allow indie developers to self-publish on Xbox One, but that every Xbox One console can be used for development (although not at launch).
Indie developers have expressed mixed reactions to the news, some optimistic of at least the opportunity to release their creations on the new platform, others cautious of Microsoft's willingness to offer indie titles sufficient exposure on the Xbox Live Marketplace.

CyimkingFuzzeh_X I wonder how much these unlock codes will cost.
Around 10k or more. They can't let the average joe buy them.
I doubt they would be that much, earlier they said "Our vision is that every person can be a creator"

So are they kinda saying that they are selling the ability to own a legit Dev Kit? That could be really bad but really good at the same time.
