Also lets say you temporarily lost your internet connection for a few days, then youre stuck with a box that cant do anything after 24 hours....a box for which you paid £350-£430, and £50 for the games (£60 if you bought them off PSN or XBL). It reminds you that no matter how much you spend, you dont own it which would be stupid. Anyway, theres not one single advantage to it for the consumer so why would anyone support it unless they work for MS? |
People who don't have the internet are not the target market. Guess what? people who liv ein countries without a cell network aren't the target market for an iPhone. People who live in areas without electricity aren't the target market for any electronics. And people who live in countries with poor internet aren't the target market for the X1.
Also, saying there is "not one single advantage" is hyperbole. You clearly don't know what MS was planning if you say that. The 24 hour checkin was to allow sharing. Obviously you can't share games offline, or everyone can share a game, others log offline.... free game. The family sharin g and cloud stored games allowed those of us who are connected 24/7 anyway to actually move into the 21st century as far as game storage/sharing.
I think MS realized all the countries with less infrastructure were going with Sony products anyway, why target them? The 360's prime advantages over the PS3 were always it's online and multiplayer capabilities, they were planning to widen the gap once again.
