Because you're the only person in a game playing wirelessly?  It is more than ones persons connection that affects a game, when a console doesn't offer an ethernet port most people going to run wireless instead, is why online gaming on Wii was so terrible, everyone wireless 100% of the time.

...as opposed to other consoles and the PC, where everyone uses their ethernet port. Of course.


...as opposed to other consoles and PC where many people use ethernet because it is better and is a built in option, in many cases the only option.  Think all those people on consoles who want dedicated servers for games and the huge amount of PC who want them then go an do something like play over wifi, completely defeating the point?

So which is it kyledog. Is it "more than ones persons connection that affects a game" or just "many people('s)"? Much more importantly, do you have a single shred of evidence to suggest that the majority, or even an appreciable share, of people gaming online with their non-Wii consoles or PCs are doing so via their systems' ethernet ports?

 

More than one persons/many people are the same...  why does this even need be explained?  English not first langauge?   Is a known and given fact that wifi in inferior to wifi for gaming, you're completely ignoring the link I posted a few posts up asking for evidence.  Though evidence shouldn't even be needed.  Another case of fans ignoring reality to defend a bad console decision.

Why yes, English is my first language. Which is why I know what "context" is, and how it applies to communication. Since you obviously don't,* when you said "more than one persons" (sic) you were referring to the idea that the players all or nearly all had to have wired connections, or else it becomes a laggy mess. At least, that's the only logical conclusion, since you made that post in response to someone telling you that their wireless connection worked just fine for gaming, thank you very much.

By contrast, when you said "many people [use ethernet because it's better blablabla]" it was in response to my pointing out that you have no evidence that everyone, or even the majority, of people playing online on other consoles/the PC do so via wired connections. In point of fact, I'm going to suggest that, this being the 21st century and all, a large amount, if not the majority, of people playing online (with their consoles, at least) do so via wi-fi. And that seems to work just fine. Apparently. I mean, I don't hear many complaints.

And since English is my first language, I know that the article you linked to has roughly zero to do with the conversation we're having. Or rather, it has roughly zero to do with the conversation that two English-speaking persons who have read the above transaction would understand as being the point of the conversation. I really have to ask, did you actually bother reading the article you linked?

 

On a completely unrelated note, has anyone stolen your 3DS yet? I remember you were so concerned that the Streetpass feature would mean that people would have their handhelds stolen more and stuff. Which was really very sweet of you.

 

*You do, you're just being deliberately obtuse to prove your...can I call it a point, really?
