...if it requires a constant connection to the internet while powered on?
Rumor has it that the next Xbox
might have this requirement.
Also rumored that there are two different versions of the next Xbox, one being more centered around entertainment than gaming.

Speaking to Kotaku, an unspecified source stated, "If the connection is interrupted then after a period of time -- currently three minutes, if I remember correctly -- the game/app is suspended and the network troubleshooter started."

I will not buy the next Xbox if this is true. My wifi tends to go out occasionally, in addition to having low bandwidth and this would become stupidly annoying. Sony seems to be more focused on gaming with the PS4. Microsoft has been shoving all this tv streaming and music crap down our throats the last 2-3 years on Xbox and its getting old because all I want to do is play games. And Halo and Gears are getting tired, Microsoft barely has any exclusives left besides getting DLC sooner, which I barely buy DLC to begin with.
It is still early though and I usually wait a year after next gen consoles are released so my decision is still up in the air..
If buying the next Xbox has never crossed your mind then obviously this question doesn't pertain to you
