It was just a line, it's Nintendo's excuse for putting as little money and effort into a title with out losing sales...

I am still buying it, and it'll probably be worth it for single player alone (considering how much I love Mario games).

Why add a feature to a product if you do not have to?

You must be joking...

If you go back to the Nintendo conference discussion, you will find that I had a fit when people started comparing it to LBP.  Mario is nothing like LBP other than the camera position and the 4 players.

That being said, I do believe it.

Explain: Why would a company put a feature into a game when they know it will sell as much either way?

Or: Would you rather believe that the Wii really is being pushed to the limits here?

It's lose/lose but I prefer the first question myself for a couple of reasons.

1. Conduit is already doing way more.

2. Nintendo is full of smart business people.

I don't see how they can be so sure that the effort of developing online play wouldn't result in substantially greater sales. Do they think it's a coincidence that Nintendo's best selling core game on the Wii is also hailed as being Nintendo's best implementation of online play?

Sure, Mario Kart Wii has a lot of things going for it, but quality gameplay, tons of content and broad appeal can be found other core games which haven't sold as well.
