from all the constant wii adverts its all about the family getting together and playing multiplayer in the same room.

i think the wii core audience aren't the gamers who play online, but rather play with a gathering of friends or family.

 

 

Well, the splitscreen is good and fun.

 

I like the wii online anyway, simple, quick, good rating system, free. And that's only for first party titles.

 

And not every core gamer wants or needs XBL, or PSN, they just want to play and get going.

Some core gamers do love XBL, and it is good, dont get me wrong, but it depends on who you are, whether you like one thing or not, so there really is no "best or better" online system.

 

 this pretty much sums it up as an answer to OP.

if u really want online gaming go with XBL or PSN. if u want family fun in the living room i.e kids/gran/parents/dog get a wii. wii is capable of online play, but nintendo concentrates on its local multiplayer i.e. splitscreen/wii sports etc, so it sacrifices its online play.
