Wow stupid stupid stupid...whats it cost to put ethernet on a board..like 50 cents? There are a TON of people who have flaky wifi or out of range. (Or jackasses like my neighbour who bcasts 56,000 fake networks as part of protecting his own. He has a linux program that literally broadcasts 56000 fake networks. People in the neighbourhood that dont know how to network are totally unable to figure it out.)
In any case, wifi is FAR from being the only networking standard for people. I'd prefer rock solid 1000mbit over wifi any day.

Also, you're neighbor is a complete douchebag. But you already know that.
|
You realise its not the same as ethernet speed as it runs through usb???????????????????????????????????????????
|
You're late in that Selnor, we have posted measurements and the lag USB adds is ~0.1 ms.
|
Thats alot in a shooter. Damn.
|
no it isn't
|
Um yes. I dont want to lose any extra lag I dont need to. Almost every shooter fan I know ( Halo 4, Crysis 2, MW3 ) all use Ethernet. Using anyting less is like giving them an extra gun.
Actually I suppose it wont matter on Wii U as everyone will have that extra lag.
|
Ok if COD runs at 60fps
1/60 = A frame every 16.666ms
adding 0.1ms lag to it = 16.766 ~ 59.7 fps, which is bugger all
|
But its 30 fps. Well Halo 4 and Crysis 2 definately are 30 fps. Everything matters online. So many variables you want optimal.
|
Than the extra 0.1ms of lag would be like 29.91fps, so even a smaller differece, a lag of 0.09fps.
But that is not the point. I know where you are coming from, but liike you said everyone will have the same disadvantage as that is the only option.
Wireless N, in theory should be pretty damn good. However it depends on what chip Nintendo uses and on your router.
If they cheaped out like HP in their laptops and used early N tech, than max is 65mbps, instead of 270mbps.
I understand that people prefer gaming wired, but saying that a console is a deal break because of a small additional cost just shows they never intended to buy the cnsole for use.
Personally I would be more worried about 3rd part support and more importantly how the online will work. Because if that is broken it won't matter wire or wifi.
All I know is I can see myself next gen having multiple consoles because the WiiU will not meet all my needs.
