And you're not even talking about the PC... Second, you have to understand online is a natural extension of Multiplayer games via link or split screens. See Smash Bros ? Mario Kart ? PGR ? Pokemon Colosseum ? NFS ? MOH ? Wii sport ? Reed Steel ? Rayman ? GT ? It's all online potential. It's all games many players wish to play together, and will. Try to compare the situation in 1 year. You'll see the difference. |
First, I'm taking about consoles not PC, and I inculded the last six systems. And that's my point PS2 having little to now online yet it sold 120 million and the Wii with little to no online has sold about 8.6 million while the 360 which is based off of online has only sold 10 million (with a full year ahead of the wii). My point is online is not selling all these games as much as you think (unless it's Halo).
Second, all the games you named (that's on the Wii) don't have online (still waiting on Smash Bros. and Mario Kart). I'm not saying online is a bad thing it's great but it doesn't make or break a game.
