| shams said: Agreed. I regularly have daily messages waiting for me in the morning/after work now. I think its actually part of Nintendo's attempt to reduce server costs. Instead of everyone hitting the server for updates when THEY want, the server can timeslice - and send updates/Miis/messages out to people when the server is ready (i.e. at a regular pace). Makes a lot of sense really. Its unlikely, but they could also do a lot more with this in the future. They could setup peer-2-peer connections between Wiis (when in WiiConnect mode) either for some form of BitTorrent/data sharing system, or just generally use the Wiis as part of a larger server cluster (when not running). |
I think the P2P thing is actually fairly likely to happen in the future. I wonder if anyone is packet-sniffing their Wii to see what it does while it's in standby?
