I dont really see the big problem, honestly. Yes, for people who dont have a steady connection, this is going to be a paperweight but lets face it, most of us have a decent internet connection. Yes, it goes out, but in the last 10 years, there has only been 1 time that I havent had internet for several days and thats only because I was moving. While I probably wont get much use out of the tv streaming and such features, as long as the games are good and steady, then I'll be fine.
Ive said it several times before, and I'll no doubt continue saying it after I post this;
If the next Xbox is always online, then it looks like I'll just be buying a Playstation 4 instead of both systems. Sometimes my connection goes out. Hell, when I get my own appt, I likely wont even have internet. Im not going to buy a system, just for it to turn into a paperweight a few months later.
Im hoping thats a preview of a new title, disguised as a tech demo. As an IP, I'd be very interested but as far as a tech demo? Im not terribly impressed. It was good, but it wasnt outstanding. I liked the Elemental demo much more.
