Of course it would be best to have both.  But when strained with the circumstance of only have alloted time to include 1 and having a game is already suited towards only one you can't really have both. (1)

 

Let me ask it this way.  If local multiplayer was the biger draw, why would almost ALL Wii FPS's have an online component but not a local componenet?(2)  Do you think they all just assumed it be the bigger draw of the 2 features?

Consider the pros and cons:

With online you get much higher player counts and there 's always players to play against.  With local splitscreen, you are limited to 4 players max (many games allow only 2), you need many controllers, you have to schedule time to play and you reduce system performance.  Online has become more appealing as broadband accessibility has increased and free time for aging gamers has reduced. 

1. Did you miss the several times where I stated if tech reasons keep it out of this version yet again, I'll accept it?

2. Wii FPS have also not broken the 2 million mark. Furthermore, only CoD and Red Steel have broken the 1 million mark. One has local only, and two of the the others have online only (with limited local multiplayer). All this proves is that FPS on the Wii have yet to break through.

I really don't like that "we chose to make this as proof alone the games sell". It should be "X game sold well and Y didn't, so we chose to make a game like X". The former has been the mindset of most developers, and that's been a huge reasons just costs have gone up, not sales.

Wait a minute.  You told me not to use sales and trends to verify my claims and then you go and use sales and trends. 

Furrher more, I already told you to look at FPS's as a whole.  The whole genre has moved toward online multiplayer given it offers a far more dynamic expereince with more players and play anytime capabilties.  The Wii is no different in that regard.  You are not going to sell a FPS on the grounds of local multiplayer better than you will on the grounds of online multiplayer.
