(As always if any of my numbers are wrong please tell me and I will fix them)
Metriod has been getting blasted for not having online mulit-player but if you look at Nintendo they are not going for it. Even on the PS2 they sold more than anybody but still have very few online titles. MICROSOFT NEEDS XBOX LIVE TO SURVIVE, when is everyone going to realize that. That is why every Xbox game will have it. Example: Super Smash Bros Brawl and Halo are both coming out with the third game in their series, if at E3 Smash Bros was said to have no online would it kill the sales NO! but would it make some people upset yes, and sure they may lose A FEW sales. Now, if Halo 3 came out with no online............. it would kill the series online is what sales Halo and the Xbox. Now with that what's the big deal with online, sure it's cool but does anybody have friends that can come over? I don't understand why a game is horrible because it doesn't have online, it's great to have, but is it really that bad not to have?
