i use a wired connection on my console and every serious PC gamer too...
its better than wifi in every way... in Wii U you can have the adapter but even that is worse than a built-in... since the USB to Ethernet conversion will for sure add lag in "heavy traffic" MP game... it is not such a bad thing for good Internet connections, but if you have a bad one, adding more lag won't help for sure... not a disaster but it is not optimal either...

I mentioned this before but I have 3 MB of internet speed and I use wifi and I don't have big issues (if any) with the lag. Sure I never have the best ping in room but I rarely have the worst. Am I the only one? >.>

your max download speed ain't the issue here... most games online only use around 512kbits not even kbytes to communicate with the server... (more if its P2P and you are the host, but not much) the thing is the ping... ping has nothing to do with max speed (its a configuration on your ISP server) ping on the other hand, has to do with how far you are from your ISP server, the type of cable used in that link, how good is your router, even built-in ethernet ports have differences in performance between manufactures... in WIFI, after all that, your router have to transmit over the air the signal with encryption  because of security, then the console have to decrypt the data and use it, the same process goes as a respond... all of this is in milliseconds... as i stated in my other post, the thing is, that is not a problem... its works... but it is not optimal (this case as the usb to ethernet case)
i understand, you may think "all i want is it to work" and you are right... if works what is the problem? but for some, its the little thinks that makes a thing just good instead of being great... and you have to understand those people too...
