"Just because a feature is included in a game, does not mean people buy the game for it."
But you're assuming just because it has online that people buy it for that. I'm using actual facts. The top selling console shooters ALL have local multiplayer. Even if that's not the only reason, that's clearly one of the deciding factors.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
