I know.I'm still shocked that neither the PS4 or the XBone offers a free online multiplayer. If Sony announced free multiplayer for the PS4, it would kill half the sales of the XBone, killing the console in cold blood. The same with the XBone, a free multiplayer could gave it the edge it needs to threaten Playstation dominance. But both companies are too comfortable with their subscription systems.

Nintendo won't do that because it's position on the industry and the nature of their systems. In fact' a paid internet service from Nintendo would kill a good percentage of some of its best selling titles, like Mario Kart and Pokemon.


It would single handedly stop me from buying Splatoon, that's for sure. Unless the Single player is robust enough to stand on it's own, which I doubt. Or unless the manage to squeeze in 4-player local multiplayer.
