A lot of the features can rely on online connectivity, but when the main feature of a console relies on connectivity almost all the time, you have a problem.
PC games are different because typically a computer is connected to the internet anyways, and frankly are far more costly to begin with.
I really think MS missed the boat this go around and I expect there will be changes at some time.
