Surprise: Internet connection not required to play 'Xbox 720' games

I think the problem is that console players get very little in the way of customization on their units. Mainly because it costs more then its worth if you can find a way to customize. Or your system crashes out because the upgrade was done incorrectly. Also the fact that most of your console users dont just up and buy the newest systems out there because their current one works just fine. Its when your system dies that you go and get the newest console. By that time, you would have a dead system with a ton of games, and a new system with one or two games. So it makes sense that gamers want backwards compatibility. Normally a new system only launches with a 3-10 titles. Console gamers want new features but want the stability of older features as well.

Aside from the lucid "customization" comment, the rest of your post is absurd. Console gamers are the VERY FIRST to be standing in line at some freezing hour of the morning to be the very first to buy technojunk they don't really know if they want. They are the definition of early adoption and the XBOX360 a cautionary tale for everyone with the common sense of your average house cat.
 
''Like any other console''
think of it like this: A human can fly like any other human.
Therefore, Said human doesn't fly
So, Said console will not fully need always online.
