Would it not be nice if next xbox and PS had no ethernet port.

That would truly show up a lot of people posting here for what they really are.

Damn I think you just won the thread....  I highly doubt Sony or Microsoft really cares about the 1% minority that gives a damn about an ethernet port.  I'd actually find it funny if they included it on their system.  Ethernet port is fine for a desktop PC that is near your router.  However, I see little concern from the average person over this issue.  This thread simply shouldn't have lasted this long but some people cling to bullshit.  Just amazes me that this discussion can keep going over a trivial matter while other threads that are far better for discussion go with little replies.  The old school VGC users are right.  VGC needs to return to 07-09 era since a lot better discussions happened then. 

Its called having an option. For an example Windows being the main OS doesnt mean that Linux needs to be completely wiped out, people still use it because some people like alternatives.

Options... well if you were an early 360 adapter then your options were pretty limited.  First 360 models didn't have wifi and the add on hard drive for the 360 was vastly overpriced.  If you want options that aren't actually rip offs then turn to the ethernet - USB adaptor that Nintendo already provides for ~15$ if you are so behind technology that you don't even have a wifi router.  Bitching about wifi lag in this thread is pointless considering users like Viper1 have already stated that the "lag" isn't noticeable.

Continuing further on my rant....  Nintendo didn't provide that big of a hard drive on the Wii U!  Well add a cheap SD card or cheap external hard drive.  Would you rather have to buy an overpriced 360 hard drive or an overpriced Vita memory stick?
