It'll certainly be interesting to see what consumers do/choose. And for what it is worth:
First search result search for "xbox" on WSJ is this:

- Games will not work, full stop, if the console has not connected to the internet in the last 24 hours.
You own an object, but you merely access a service.
From the first three search results from CNN (excluding the Spanish one I got for some reason):
With lingering questions about privacy, game trading and selling, and an "always-on" Kinect device, Microsoft has released new details about the new Xbox One console, hoping to address issues that have had some fans in an uproar.
But some features of the new iterations of the Xbox and PlayStation -- be they announced or just rumored -- are driving a wedge between the gaming giants and some of their fans.
Unfortunately, the Xbox One won't work like magic for everyone, and it's pretty clear that Microsoft has hit the same roadblocks Google, Apple and others have when it comes to revolutionizing the way we watch TV.
The company hasn't said, but that hasn't stopped a preventative movement of gamers who have taken to forum threads and Twitter, where they're using the hashtags #PS4NoDRM and #PS4UsedGames to reach out to Sony executives.
