Xbox One

Because every Xbox One owner has a broadband connection,

I love how they make assumptions about their system owners before the system is even released. How did they come to this magical conclusion?

For an optimal experience, we recommend a broadband connection of 1.5Mbps.

I know more than a few people who cannot get close to a 1.5Mbps connection due to their area or costs for such a speed. Sure, in NY, CA, and other high population areas that's nothing, but there are A LOT of areas where that's not feasible. Not only that, I know a few people who don't pay for Internet at all, but rent and play games. So they can't even touch an X1.

With Xbox One you can game offline for up to 24 hours on your primary console, or one hour if you are logged on to a separate console accessing your library.

So how does the East Coast play an X1 when they get hit by hurricanes, which I've heard predictions of at least six major ones are predicted to hit the East Coast this year. Last year's hurricane in my area took out Internet for two weeks, and some people had no power/cable (but had generators so they COULD play their 360 if they wanted to pass the time) for over a month. This concept is completely illogical and completely stupid. The expectation that you will be online at basically all times is absurd, and making your console a gigantic VHS sized paperweight when you cannot get online is even more-so.

The entire third article is basically them trying to stave off the "They're watching us always!" argument, but I wouldn't believe anything they said on that matter. Gonna need an outside testing source to stave off that.

I know a lot of us probably said what I just said (I even might have myself, I don't remember), but that link just kind of made me reiterate it in annoyance. X1 is only not going to be DOA because of their CoD exclusive pomegranate or whatever it is.
