Xbox One isn't always online, but requires internet connection

4.5
It has been confirmed that the Xbox One will not be always online, but require internet connection. One of the reasons why this has been implemented, is because all games must be installed now. Microsoft also uses the Cloud Storage device to store movies, music, shows, etc.

This is just wrong. What if your internet is down for maintenance?

Then you are screwed and won't be able to play anything on your Xbox until your internet comes back up. I think this whole thing is stupid because the only reason they are doing this is to stop piracy, which Sony and Nintendo don't care about as much.

Why would you want to be forced to be online? Theres no reason for it to not work without internet.

Ya MS is done all ready with the "Xbox 1" stupid name and sadly dont follow the path it should of by naming it the "720" and now all they are doing is sales setting it up and such.


Are you implying that the Xbox one will fail because you don't like the name they chose for it?


I think he is implying that it will fail because when you think about it, people will draw comparisons to the names PS4 Vs Xbox One, PS5 Vs Xbox Two etc

People are not that bright and will assume that the PS4 is better because it has a higher number.

Also remember that the PS One wasn't a new console, but a slimline version of an existing console, just like the Xbox Slim is to the Xbox 360.


True.. But if you remember when the revealed the Kinect, the originally called it "Project Natal". Some time (like a month or so..) They renamed to Kinect. I'm and avid Xbox gamer, I too think that they could have created a cooler name. I also think the needing internet connection will get scrapped mainly because I think it will kill their sales on the console. There is alot of people out there that dont have internet in there homes. Guess its just a waiting game to see what Microsoft does...


And lots of people, including myself, don't have that fast of an Internet connection. I would have to leave the Xbox on for about a week straight for it to download a 10gb game,
