The statement is true of the XBoxOne as well, it only requires a connection once every 24 hours, not a constant always-on internet connection.

Well with the XBox if you haven't checked in in the 24 hours your offline games become unplayable.
I tracked down the exact quote for further clarification:
Quote:
After the Xbox One reveal it became a certainty when Microsoft explained that there would be some form of “check-in” for their new system. Popular consensus thought that Sony would probably be heading in that direction with the PS4 as well, they just hadn’t spilled the beans just yet.
As it turns out, this might not be the case at all. Mark Cerny, the architect behind the PS4, recently sat down with a Spanish publication to clarify the alleged always online requirements for the PS4. In the interview, Cerny says that the PS4 will not require a permanent connection to the internet.
“PlayStation 4 is not a permanent connection system in that sense, but the experience is much richer if you are connected. You will have access to digital content and updates for your games, along with a wide range of social functions: upload videos and screenshots, see your friends play and interact with them in various ways within the games.”

If after that quote, the PS4 still required online check-in, I would say Sony has been extremely misleading.
