Great job comparing games in the past with no online....

Man it's crazy how the people ignored the online on the PS2, GC and the Wii... oh wait...

It's literally pointless to compare when online wasn't even avaailable.

My point is online doesn't sell games as much as people think they do. And a game isn't going to flop in sales because it has no online.

Depends on the game. Also, and I state again if Metroid Prime had online it would sell better it's a fact because of the popularity of FPS shooters in the US.

A lot of games cannot even have online mp because they are by nature single player games .

More and more on that list you have will be online because it's about time console games go online mor, I mean everything is done online but playing games won't follow? it will.
