Eurogamer: Does the console always need to be connected to the internet? Shuhei Yoshida: You can play offline, but you may want to keep it connected. The system has the low-power mode - I don't know the official term - that the main system is shut down but the subsystem is awake. Downloading or updating or you can wake it up using either the tablet, smartphone or PS Vita.
So the PS4 does the exact same thing. It has a low power mode that allows the console to upload and download. So by your definition then the PS4 must always be connected as well and Shuhei does not know what he is talking about. |
That's not really answering the question is it. Furthermore, he doesn't use the words "ALWAYS CONNECTED" nor does he refer to being connected while away from the console. He only mentions when not using it.
