Disappoint 12% of your userbase with no BC, another 12% with online requirements, another 12% with used game restrictions and sooner or later you're talking about real customers.

Just have a look at installed bases on the main page of this site and knock one of them down by 30%. 20 million units, no big deal, right?

no big deal if your plan is to increase the userbase by 300% with pay tv/cable subsribers .

you don't pay 400mio for some nfl shit that has nothing to do with gaming if you don't have such plans.

Why in the world would anyone buy this if they don't care about games first and foremost?  You still have to have your cable provider and cable box.  The XBone doesn't get rid of that.
