What if you are vacationing in a cabin somewhere, or just want a DVD/blu-ray player on to go? Surely there are countless reasons as to why someone might not have an internet connection every 24 hours, without that meaning they don't have a life.

I set up both my parents with PS3's so they could watch movies and play occasional games when family is over. Neither of them are tech-savvy enough to make sure it's constantly connected to the internet every day. So what happens to these customers? What happens to those oil riggers, or people that don't want to be forced into paying for the internet in order to use a console?

Some people may not see this is an issue because they are in that 25-35 age group (as am I), and won't see this is any sort of obstacle. Well that won't be the case for millions of other current users for varying reasons. Well I guess these people are going to have to follow Microsoft's advice and just keep their 360's in the future. Or better yet follow all the people leaving Microsoft for the PS4 which essentially has none of the issues that people are finding with the Xbox One. Then in a couple years when Microsoft realizes how poorly this new console has faired maybe they will remake it entirely, or be forced to launch an entirely new console to save the dying sector.
