Is Wiiware really this bad?

People on Wii Online:

"It's good for a first try give them a chance! Honestly I don't mind friend codes or laggy games or lack of voice chat or the failure of Wii-ware or the lack of quality VC games... It adds to the charm :D"

People on PSN:

"WTF no in-game XMB? No friends list invite? Sony sucks ass!"

Inexcusable for a company worth billions. Stop defending crap services, start demanding better.

I like how you file everything that isn't said by you under "people." It's as if everybody else in the world is some faceless hive entity working against you. Cute.

Uh, that seems to be the general response of the respective fanbases.

Well I don't mind friend code, I do have a problem when it is codes. Voice chat would be nice, but preferably limited to friends only. ---- Laggy online? I have probably played over 1000 races on MKWii now and about 5 I noticed lag, (3 of them may have been due to etuyos connection which seems to affect the rest of us) failure of Wiiware and VC is also a bullshit comment.

Lack of voicechat is appalling. It eliminates any potential for team-based games. Wiiware and VC is hardly great compared to Live and PSN.
