If they believe the amount of people with reliable (!) broadband connections with good enough peering to their data centers is as big as the customer base owning an xbox, they might have an ugly awakening.

Most people will not move just to get a better latency that can still suffer from external influences. Waiting in a queue because the available machines in your nearest data center are all in use because it's a holiday and everyone is gaming also gets old fast.
