Everyone knows wired is superior...

Yeah. So?

Right. Some people do. The Serious Online Gamer, to whom an ounce of lag is fatal to having fun playing a videogame. We all got that. Promise. 

Of course, unless Serious Online Gamers only play other Serious Online Gamers, then those Serious Online Gamers can't be too fussed about wi-fi, since many (most?) of their opponents are playing using wi-fi. Which is important, because as someone in this thread claimed, "it is more than ones persons connection that affects a game." So, folks using wi-fi to play games online must not be that big of an issue after all.

 

Or, and I ask this verbatim for the second time, 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?

Disappointing, ethernet port is a must because my wifi is shit.

Buy the dongle.   $15 from Amazon.

I'm not gonna spend an extra €15.

But you're totally going to spend €300+ on the system. Right?
