I do understand the used games case you are describing and that does make the Xbox less appealing to someone that is able to buy and resell a game at a 5-10 dollar loss. At the same time I understand why Microsoft doesn't want that, and franky doesn't care if you buy their console.
I also see why they want people with internet to buy it. Its clear that Microsoft wants to push their services more than sell games at this point. Just look at the Xbox One...Xbox, Kinect, Skype, Windows, Bing, IE, Skydrive, Azure...all present in one form or another. Xbox is like Microsoft All Stars 2013...lol. While Microsoft is most likely aware that some people will skip their console because of lack of internet...I am pretty sure they calculated that the value of pushing their other services will make up for that, and then some.
I don't know what I will say down the road about this...but for now I just want to be entertained and I don't see anything wrong with Xbox One. If Xbox One has good games, I will buy it. If it any point down the road, it becomes untolerable with its DRM policies, I will get rid of it and game somewher else.
I don't see anything wrong with this way of thinking.

Because by accepting it now you are empowering them to take the next step.
What's actually ironic about this, if they had come out and stated it would be a digital only console... I wouldn't be complaining at all, in fact many of those policies are improvements over current digital content.
I've stated it before and I like digital only solutions. But to me the taking away of freedom to handle your disc, physical media, purchases in any form you wish, is what's at the center of my anger.

If you're all for an all-digital platform then use the Xbone as an all-digital platform. The link says games will be day one digital and retail.
