I remember Apocalypse it was ironic cause i was gone that weekend I didnt even hear about it still i got back and it was already solved it was a blip. The hack was a much bigger deal that sucked. But we did get some compensation. Heres the the thing thats about a month of crap on Sony's part but for the rest its usually up to par. Ninty? been crap for years? years. Im not kicking them when there down, but for some people to go in defense mode because the OP is rightly upset and bring Sony into is laughable, especially considering in terms of online Ninty isnt even in the same sport as the other two. They are STILL far behind.

You're kinda kicking Nintendo while it's down, bro. I'm not arguing that Nintendo's online service is on par with Sony's and Microsoft's, but the service has been spotty (not out; spotty. I was able to get in the eShop and download Ducktales and Mighty Switch Force! 2 last night) for two days and you're making it sound like this is the norm. Meanwhile, PSN and Steam are/were having the same problem, albeit on a lesser scale it seems, but their allowed to have a few blemishes on the record.
This is essentially what you're saying:
"Sony's network goes down from time to time and was the subject of the most famous asskicking from hackers in the industry's history, but it's OK since it is usually up to par."
"Nintendo gets no leeway. It's network has always been shit."
But it's not a matter of services, it's a matter of reliability!
"Doesn't matter, it's shit."

It wasnt my intention to make it seem like its the norm. Sorry if it came across like this. Yes to a certain extent they are allowed to have a few blemishes, because and this is going to sound messed up the online services are good and that much better than what Ninty offers. Im not even talking this instance im talking their online overall.
Its a matter of everything, now i acknowledge Ninty is definetly better than they were in the Wii (shudders) but they need to be running with this thing, right now it feels like theri jogging, they dont have that luxury. For the record this isnt anywhere near the crap that was the PS3 hack.

We can shake hands on that one. But it at least appears that they're sssssssssslllllllloooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwlllllllyyyyyyyyy coming around, with unified accounts and digital wallets across their handheld and console. Heck, the Wii U's online component and OS has come a bit of a ways since it launched; the OS is significantly faster, downloads now happen automatically upon purchase (and it will continue to download after turning off the system) and the browser and certain apps like YouTube have and will continue to receive updates to enhance performance. It ain't no Xbox Live, but I personally don't expect a free service to be on the same level as a paid premium service. I don't expect NPR or PBS to match Sirius or HBO in quality.

thats fair, im just glad to know that it isnt the crap storm that was the WiiWare that service was free but so was PSN on PS3 and the difference between those is night and day.
