That's a pretty disingenuous analysis. Sony is not attempting to change the status quo and force DRM down consumers' throats. Microsoft is. As noted by some, their are many people who aren't always connected to the internet. My dad, for instance, lives in rural Tennessee and can only get internet through an aircard because the cost outweighs the benefit for adding broadband infrastructure.
I have a friend who I constantly trade games with, and neither of us generally gives a crap about online gaming. The Xbox One is clearly disadvantageous to us in that respect.
