Not to mention you buy a used game, but then to enable it on your console you have to pay the price of the game again. Xbox decided that games are only valid for one console, unless you pay them the cost of the game after buying a used one.
Not connected to the internet? Oooh, no games for you.
Although for me the biggest point is the PS4 outperforming it hardware wise and emphasizing that it's a high-end gaming console that has home media options on the side rather than the Xbox being a media console that has gaming options. I think losing Bungie exclusives like Halo made them scared and they had to rethink what they were doing.
Destiny is a MASSIVE undertaking with 6 years of development already and a 10 year content+expansion contract signed before it's even out of the gate, and it being a multiplatform game probably scares Microsoft. |

Games are tied to LiveIDs not the console itself. And no it will not have to be online all the time any more than the PS3 needs to connected all the time (unless of course you're playing and online game). Overall though, I don't trust companies that make you dig through marketing bullshit to get to the meat of what they're selling. |

Not all the time, but it needs to be connected every 24 hours, unless of course a developer makes use of the 'cloud' even in a single player game, and then it will always need to be online.
What really gives me the creeps is that it won't work without the Kinnect. A camera always watching, listening? No thanks.
Also if someone opened up a browser while I was trying to watch a movie, I'd throw the Duke at them.
