No i'm just basing it off all info released so far. If it does end up having one that is awesome and a huge positive for the system. In fact the lack of one is the main reason I'm considering not buying one until they price drop later on.
I'm not trying to turn this into a Nintendo vs other companies thread at all because I think the 3ds looks great I just find it a bad business decision to not have a centralized ID with game tracking like the other systems currently have. If it adds one in that is awesome news.

why would you need an online ID for a portable system when there is not free wifi all over the world yet? how would that benefit us in any way? the point of an online id is so people can search and play with friends on the fly, why the hell are you sitting there playing your 3DS at home when you can play on actual consoles or a PC? comparing progress is comparing on who has more "no life" value, how's that a good thing to compare?

are you kidding me? Walk into the nearest college campus and tell me how many DS's you see. Here's a hint for you, LOTS. There's free wi-fi at all colleges and practically all over the place now days.
This isn't a debate its a fact that online play has become a HUGE part of gaming and will only become more and more prevalant over the next 5 years. If the 3DS still lacks a good solid way to track your friends online and jump into games with them its a bad business choice.
How can you say you honestly would prefer to walk around and get imaginary coins more than having a good, solid, centralized online experience with game tracking? Don't get me wrong the coins thing might end up being cool too but not near as important as centralized ID.

because we all goto college right? That's a piss poor arguement, come up with something more practical. It'd just be in your pocket with the lid closed as you are walking, you don't need to be playing a game.

Your arguement sucks. I thought there was free internet in airports, most hotels, most cafes(heck even Mcdonalds), restaraunts, etc. Online gaming is becoming more prevalent, even on handhelds. What about people who do not live in very populated areas, or people who live in cities/ town that are spread out, making walking to where you need to go, impossible? Why wouldn't you want a centralized online id anyways? By your logic, why even have any online in a portable.
