Has any console ever received as much negative press prior to it's reveal as the Nextbox has?

if your talking about 720 sales, it will have great sales, but being online all the time, will really hurt it, but its first year in the us will be amazing.

No, I wasn't talking about sales, but since you brought it up, I agree that an "Always Online" requirement would hurt its sales.

Hell, I was open to getting a 720, I had a 360 last gen, but I certainly won't be buying one if it requires a constant online connection.

i'm thinking that games will have check points every 2 hours, that will tell you please connect to the internet to continue, then you can go on with out being connected but if 720 was 2x more powerful then ps4 i would still buy it.

Power's not such a big deal for me, I enjoyed the Wii the most of the 7th gen systems, but spending a sizeable chunk of my internet just to play offine, and being grounded whenever my net is down, that's a deal breaker for me.

honestly with out a big power increase, i would see no reason to buy a new console.
