I know because I've used all three and Nintendo's is the worst, I stopped playing Splatoon because of the crappy service. And the games they are going to be offering with the service are really old and they are only giving out one a month.

Really? I thought the whole online system was being revamped for Switch - pretty much one of the keypoints Iwata brought up in the NX project, if I recall.

Nintendo's Online better then PSN/XBL?

They're barely getting out the gate when it comes to online features, they're not going to suddenly catch-up and surpass the competition.

Has Nintendo announced anything about the online features? What we know so far are the smartphone app for communication and parental controls app. That's not much, but especially the parental controls app kick ass, and potentially so does the communication app.

Is there any evidence those exist or just stepped over to pc. I wouldn't call the typical Nintendo homeconsole audience the people that bought a Wii. So that leaves the people who bought a Gamecube, but the installbase of the Gamecube wasn't much bigger than the one of Wii U. Besides the Playstation audience also didn't care for the PS3 at first. So all the audiences got a certain standard, doesn't make one better or worse than the other.

Firstly, nobody was talking about home console audience, secondly, even if they did, the Gamecube/Wii U audience isn't your typical Nintendo home console audience, Wii fits it much better. Also, ALL who bought Wiis weren't typical Nintendo audience, but Wii was the ONLY home console the typical Nintendo audience bought.

The typical Nintendo audience is very much oldschool/arcade gamer, that has disinterest in the modern industry games.

 

Geez the way you discribe the typical Nintendo audience sounds very sad...

I love my retro nintendo classics but also love modern games! Guess im not sophisticated!! Lol

 

About the original comment that the Nintendo audience is more sophisticated... That person is just  being arrogant plain and simple.

 

Oh and on topic. Will the pay wall kill Splatoon? Probably not.
