But what i'm saying is that the average Joe is going to go out and buy an Xbox and expect it to work like the 360 don't you think. I can't see anywhere on the amazon pre order page or others that says the Xbox requires an internet connection. I'm not saying people don't have internet, a lot of people do. But the fact is that a lot of consumers don't know what will happen if say their internet drops out for a couple of days. 

1) People who bought console from retailers can return it, if it is don't work (you don't have internet connection), i think. Funny fact, you need itunes to activate ipad, very convinient, don't you think?

2) People who buying stuff from amazon - have internet, and more aware about product requirements stuff.

Sure but going back to my question, do you think physical discs should be treated the same as digital download now? Do you think the Xbox should go digital only or is planning to go digital only. And why do you think that's a better option for gamers. Especially those that don't have a stable internet connection. 

In MS eyes, disc is not just games data anymore, they are keys to unlock digital copy access. But in more familiar form factor.

 

Xbox One - in the sense digital only console, just with few compromises to casual buyer. MS making big step in the future, unlike Sony.


You don't need itunes to activate it but i see what you mean about people should know or can return if they need to. 

 

DO you feel that the world is ready for a digital only world. Because at the moment i can still buy CD's and DVD's and i don't need lose the right to sell them on privately or require an internet connection to listen and watch them. Do you think MS has jumped to far ahead and that could alienate some of their userbase on the 360.
