When you are paying for PS+/XBL, you aren't simply paying to play online, you're paying for a service. A service that includes a variety of things such as monthly (free) games, twitch streaming support, regular discounts, online MP, etc. The point is, MP is only a part of PS+/XBL. Sure the Wii U gives you MP for free, but as a service PS+/XBL is far greater than Nintendo Network. You are simply paying for a better service and most people are very satisfied with the overall service they're getting in retun for paying a monthly fee. |
And is Nintendo supposed to include that disclaimer in its marketing? The point is to advertise that Nintendo's online services are FREE, period. It's not about which is better. It's about free vs. not free. And if you can make that claim, you do it.
