"Most" is the operative word here.

Actually, without being an expert on these games, but I some quick checks, and I counted a total of 27 "connected" games on that list. A majority in other words.

Not a bad point!

Now look at all the games that sold over 15 million.

I can't be bothered to count, since we both know what the outcome will be. But I'll counter your argument by saying that neither the Wii or DS are particularly strong with regards to online connectivity, not compared to the PS360 anyway.

But Nintendo are putting great focus on being connected with the 3DS, and I doubt they'll let their next home console be as behind in the online arena as the Wii is.

So I still think non-connected games are going away. Maybe not completely, but they'll definitely become fewer and fewer sooner rather than later.
