I don't see them being successful despite there "network upgrades". Sure we are heading for a digital future, but i expect to follow a steam model rather than the Xbox one, at least with steam you can get to play most games offline unless there is 3rd party DRM like Assassin's Creed or GTA IV.
If Xbox one becomes the so called "genius console", i will probably stick to offline gaming on older consoles and finally catch up on the many classics i missed from the PS1 and PS2 days. If there's anything new i want, i'll have to get it from steam when consoles become completely digital, especially if they follow the Xbox One's way of doing things.

Prediction: Switch 2 will outsell the PS5 by 2030
