It's more a case of they're trying to make the baby take it's first steps while at the same time loading concrete slabs full of pokemon onto its back.

Hahaha, it's true. Sony and Microsoft spent a whole generation building up their online infrastructures. Nintendo is trying to rush through the process in a couple of years, and they're hitting some speed bumps along the way. But their capabilities are improving dramatically from year to year, so hopefully experiences like this will help them avoid the same situations in the future.
