Online required ? Thats stupid, some people want to travel with the Console and play in hotels and so without internet so this is non sense.

i do that all the time.

I'd say that will annoy about 0.001% of console buyers.

yes you are tight... I over-egged it a little.  far less people than I said haul their consoles around hotels.

Yes, you are the proud owner of a steady reliable fast Internet Connection in a densly populated area. You and everyone else... Oh Wait..

Funny I know tons of students/workers who dont have a good Internet access only via Phone with severe datavolume restrictions. My mom lives in a rural area in germany with 50kilobyte/s  she needs every last bit of it for her work. Taking my 720 to her would be pointless and all my friends there have lousy internet connections. My little brothers room has no good internet connection despite the fact my father has a good internet connection because his room is far away from the Wifi source. Lending it to him is pointless then ?

 

Not everyone  has friends/family in one place not everyone has a good enough internet connection all the time. Some people have more than one family member that uses a lot of speed. In rural areas even in the USA this is a problem. 

 

The people on this planet are not all like you. A feature like this would definetly kill of a lot of sales 20-25% maybe more.
