You're speculating. Also, rule of thumb is the one with the least knowledge and strength learns/grows the fastest. The higher your level, the slower your evolution pace. It's the same here. Nint has lots to learn, and will catch up relatively quickly, I disagree with Mr. Melon on that.

I'm speculating in the same way saying the PS4 will be more powerful than the PS3 is speculating. It's inevitable that the online services will receive a massive upgrade, and judging by what we know of the Wii U (which is quite a lot), it's on-par with PSN and XBL as it is right now. I don't think they'll catch up quickly, it took PSN years to get anywhere close to the level of XBL, and 6 years on it's still playing catch-up. 

Yeah. I guess the difference is that with processing power we can guess benchmarks (which we discussed already privately). What would your expectations be for Network improvements that Nintendo hasn't already implemented, let alone fabulated or designed?

I just don't see it, honestly, and streaming, though convenient, isn't a must. Long term I would like them to catch up on it though, but it isn't a make it or break it kind of thing. At this point, I don't think there is a make it or break it for Nintendo's online offering, they seem to have everything they need (from what we know this far at least). Obviously they can always improve on latency and how well it's streamlined and integrated, but if MiiVerse is any indicator, Nintendo is likely being humble when they said they had lots to catch up to, imho. But I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt on this point. I'll give you a nice "Maybe" and eagerly await what Sony and MS have in store to keep Ninty on their toes (and rightly so).

By the way, is that Vin Diesel in your avi? :D

lol No, it's Jon Bernthal. He plays Shane in The Walking Dead :P

Haha, okay. He looked like an old version of Vin Diesel :P
