I was talking about the networks in general, not simply this site alone. But the fact remains, Sony and Microsoft have their systems setup to where you really don't need to go crazy making threads like what you're referring to.   As Nintendo starts to get serious about online, threads like the ones you mention will start to fade away.

Mario Kart having community functions alone doesn't say much because it's a self-contained game. Which means, it only ties to people for THAT game alone. So it makes sense to make threads for get togethers on mario kart because Nintendo's ecosystem isn't fully tied together just yet. Right now, their against two competitors that have had full ecosystems where thread meet ups were made almost obsolete

Look at Dr Henry Killinger's post. He pretty much refers exactly to what I'm saying

Then why do games like CoD, Minecraft and LoL still have many forums and threads aimed at organizing games. Or loads of mmorpgs? You guys are simply making stuff up. We're talking about community forums here, they'll never disappear. I'm not talking about networks: I'm talking about games.

 

 

Everything from big to small has a fan base, so they will always have forums and websites dedicated to them. Little Big Planet has plenty of those too btw. And no, we're talking about community forum threads, not community forums. Big difference there. The threads themselves WILL start to diminish and fade for Nintendo's games BECAUSE they are starting to get serious about online.

Back when most of the Nintendo threads started, people had no choice but to make them because Nintendo's network was so rough it was the only way people had any sense of unity/ connection with one another. "We're" not making up anything. It's just a reality.

When the NX comes out, if their online is robust, just how many of these nintendo game meet up threads do you honestly expect to exist?
