I can only speak for myself but early last gen, Xbox Live was, in my opinion, easily worth $50 more than the PSN and Nintendo WiFi Connection. Sony stepped their game up in a major way and now, PSN is worth the money, as well. Nintendo still doesn't even have the basics, yet. Yeah, you can find someone to play with some times and if that's all you want, good for you. I need more and Nintendo's competition offer it.
Don't get me wrong. I love my Wii U but the online component is probably Xbox in 2003 quality if that.
