A lot of the world still struggles to get internet connections, or has costly bandwidth overcharges if you go over you allocated usage, This is especially true in country towns and rural area in Australia, I know a lot of uni students who can only afford 1 gig of internet a month and cant afford to have this thing always connected in case a user interface update is needed to play a new game for example, they would have to use their whole months quota just to update the system. The world is a big place, and the example i gave isn't even one of the more extreme ones. |
I have relatives in rural Australia and their net is fine? I suppose without support though, it could be troubling for the uni students to pay for decent internet. Having said that, if they can't afford internet, they won't be buying a PS4 or an X1 for atleast the first few years until they get jobs, which then they can afford internet anyway?

This is exactly my point though, simply having to have a decent amount of internet usage completely alienate some users, perhaps they COULD afford just the console, but maybe not that and the internet, depending on how much they set aside for luxuries, and as you said, it will stop them buying one for at least a few years. The reason I wont be buying on is that I live on campus and the campus internet cannot be connected to consoles, therefor I wouldnt be able to varify it, there are so many reasons that it would just be a lot easier to allow people to play offline don't you think?
