That would be some console if true and I like. But ..

1) The cost, this system is looking expensive. 2013 could be good economic times or bad. Yes MS has money to burn but if the system is too heavily subsidised that's not good business.

2) On-line only is cutting to much of the market off. As well as... Internet down (happens frequently in my area), I can't play. Reach broadband limit, can't play. Can't pay internet bills, can't play. Can't take it to our holiday house in the sticks because there is no broadband there.

no clue what "in the sticks" means but "can't pay internet" bill and "holiday house" sounds funny

It means living out in the woods, in the middle of nowhere. Aka, East Bumblefuck.
