What if this whole "scandal" if you could really call it that, has caused such a backlash that Microsoft has decided to rethink that aspect of the new system. They might not have actually been planning the always on feature in the first place. But, maybe they'll change their minds if they were.

I think the pushback to may has been known for a while now.

I feel as though a feature so distinctive as "always-on" is integrated heavily within the hardware to the point that altering that aspect would be extremely detrimental the the overall functionality of the console. At this point, if they decided to change such a fundamental part of the construction of the new Xbox to appease this backlash, then they have already lost the next-gen "console war." I hope the faith in their technology is not misplaced. They have a lot of prejudice against their console already to have to fight through as it is; this event (whenever it is) has to not only overcome those skepticisms, but then sell us the idea of their new Xbox on top of that. Things are probably very tense over there at Microsoft.

Well it may or may not be possible to change it, and that term always on has been thrown around so much when it's such a vague term. We don't even know what that means but most are assuming it means that it requires internet.
