The only problem one should find here, and that's if it is a problem for you, is the per 24hr connection. Many of you don't read to understand what is going, but that is how the typical gamer thinks.
He clarified and said it will work in the exact same way it works on PS3 right now. As in publishers can do online passes if they wish, but there will not be any draconian and straight up asinine DRM measures imposed on the console itself, like what the Xbone does. You have have log in everyday or you can't play your games? Ridiculous. You can lend a game to a friend, but you can't get it back? Utter f@#$ery. Also, FYI, the Wii U's preorders were sold out everywhere too; same with the Surface tablet lol. Keep sippin' that Kool Aid, brah.
EDIT: Also, about the Wii, it was successful because it was CHEAP and it had mass market appeal because of its ease of use. The Xbone is $500...That's 5 Apple TVs, Roku boxes or Google TVs. Those devices also aren't the size of a Betamax machine, either. An Xbox controller is too complicated for the masses and the only good Kinect game is Dance Central, but just like Guitar Hero and the like, that bubble is about to burst.
