Online limits success. People from the HD camp don't wanna hear that, because they're so caught up in their Borg agenda.
Making a game online cuts everything off, it diminishes the power of word of mouth by minimizing local multiplayer. By making it easier to find a robot to play with, who already owns all the products that are necessary. You don't bring anybody new in.
Nintendo is better off finding new ways to differentiate their own multiplayer value, which is local. This is very important.
Online closes people off. I know it's convenient for certain gameRs, but it's not in Nintendo's best interest, or anybody's really. If they want to improve their online they better make sure the people connecting know each other personally and engage on a regular basis. They better not take the Microsoft/Sony bait, which is in reality a little box.
No, they won't need it. You're thinking that they do because you're being wishful. You want it, and that's it. Nintendo's value has very much to do with forcing people to make an extra effort to find people to play with physically, if they lose that they close gaming off. And to the people wanting online gaming, they can either have it on other systems and go for Nintendo's differentiation, or they can occasionally try online in a slightly different way
The PSN/Live. Not a good thing.
