I know 13 people with xbox360s
10 of which were never connected to the internet.
This is going to be hilarious.

Half a game? That's pushing it a bit.
Your statistics are a little off with the general public it seems, a one time internet connection in 2013 isn't difficult, and whoever buys an Xbox One needs it anyway.

Actually not true, because there will be services that third parties will provide to update the console as day one. However, games are still ip tied, since it was never announced as removed, so you have to download from your house.

IP tied??? that's not possible a lot of people have non static IPs from their ISPs.... I'm personnaly using VPN services and get random IPs all the time.... they might be account tied but certainly not IP tied....

Ah you're right, I forgot about that stuff.
Well, it was something that MS had said, but I think I had it wrong. The original quote was more along the lines of "ip range":
"Responding to Twitter user Gregor Ivezic's (@gi4ouR) question "Xbox One will block activation of games if outside of the IP range of a supported country? What if i travel a lot?", the @XboxSupport2 account replied "You'll be able to play when you return home. I travel with an Xbox 360 for road gaming.""
""While the console itself is not geographically restricted, a user’s Xbox Live account, content, apps and experiences are all tied to the country of billing and residence.""
The word residence is the part that makes the implication, unless they meant "country of residence"
