So far that so megaawesomecoolwahetever XBL hasn't even made tckles to Nintendo so why do they should bother? Is not hurting them and is not taking them customers away and most of all, they are not killing them. XBL is just for lazy nerds that hate to write codes in a paper and have real friends. |
Because the way it appears right now, the industry is headed more and more online. DLC is the way of the future look at the new PSPGo alittle early for a DLC only console but it shows where were headed. Online functionality accounts for alot of Microsoft's profit and Nintendo being a competitor wants to reduce that profit.
Your right the lack of online isn't effecting Wii hardware sales. But it is effecting software sales, online multiplayer practically sells Halo and other games like "Frontlines:FuelOfWar". Their are so many titles that sell because of their online gameplay, and in that department Microsoft is killing Nintendo.
What I am saying as a Nintendo fanboy myself. Nintendo's online compared to Microsoft's online is a major blow to Nintendo. Microsoft can even charge for online and still beats Nintendo's numbers.
So why should Nintendo improve their online network? Simple Nintendo is a company of great prestige and constantly improving their products. Why should they allow the competition to out perform them online?
