If you talk about require online,nope,this XDK never confirmed,it just said it will about update games/OS/apps even in low power mode,when you online.
Microsoft can't be that stupid? Windows 8 clearly shows that they are just plain out of their mind. Windows RT confirms they are not even trying anymore. I expect the same pattern from XBox 3.

I think a big thing for having blu ray is that it's a gateway's into families living room. For instance my dad doesn't play games (he buys some for get togethers for kids), but he wanted a blu-ray player/Media thing that would have good support because blu-rays firmware needs to be updated. |
I think the Xbox has alread did a pretty good job at finding its way into living rooms.
I got ya though. A Bluray player is another reason to get people gathered around the console. MS might as well use it now since its cheap and will provide plenty of space for next gen games.

What lie? It took that space within the disc. God of War 3 used 35GB, 40 European version: http://www.computerandvideogames.com/235873/god-of-war-3-tops-40gb-of-blu-ray/ |
I hear ya, but using a lot of space on a Bluray is not convincing me Bluray was essential.
Especially when you take into consideration PS3 games often use more space than their 360 counterpart. MG:R is 25GB on the PS3, but fits on a single DVD on the 360. Or Street Fighter 4. About 20GB on the PS3, but only 6GB on the Xbox.

Impossible because according to Micro:
"Blu-ray is going to be passed by as a format," predicted UK Xbox 360 chief Stephen McGill while speaking to Xbox360Achievements. "People have moved through from DVDs to digital downloads and digital streaming, so we offer full HD 1080p Blu-ray quality streaming instantly, no download, no delay," he added. "So, who needs Blu-ray?" Blu-ray is and will be unnecessary according to Microsoft.
Nintendo is selling their IPs to Microsoft and this is true because:

This quote is obviously in regards to movies and I agree. A lot of people don't buy movies anymore, sales are down. While getting movies digitally is growing.
It seems to me the primary reasons they're going with Bluray is for storage and the hardware is cheap. Bluray movies is a bonus.

that's like saying Gaming physical media is going to be passed as a format totally. Since games take less data than 1080p blu-ray. Movie Sales in General are down thanks to Netflix. But like people that like gaming physical media there's people that like physical media, have bandwidth limit, have slow internet etc.
That leads me to believe that either this whole report is false. Their would be no reason to have blu-ray format and not just do something proprietary like nintendo did so you don't have to pay royalties.
Or that the UK 360 chief, doesn't share the same opinion as other people within microsoft.
I wouldn't buy the 720 even if it was half the price of the ps4 buuuuuut!! I really dont see what the issue is with this announcement :/ why does it even matter if it has to be connected all the time? If I didnt have an internet connection I wouldnt buy a console in the first place.
IT'S OVER! Good bye Microsoft.

There are still some people who don't get connected all that well. In some playes, Internet is only available at very low speeds, like 64 kbit/s. I for myself can connect only using the mobile network, which gives me about 5 Mbit/s, but the response time is really bad. It should improve with LTE, but one prolbem remains: I have limited Data. Only 5 GB a month, after that, the speed goes down significantly. And I'm not planning to waste that volume to some game consoles, that's why I prefer them to operate offline.
