I hope I don't have to use a Sony TV to use it though

Eh... Sony would have to be very dumb in order to do something like that!



I hope they do that. And fail.

Wow...that is rather harsh.

I know you are a Nintendo fan but I wouldnt wish for Nintendo to go under.

I don't support digital games at all.

If physical games dissapear then I will not support any "system" or company that does it.

I know for a fact im not alone on this.

You are not. Physical >>>>> digital

And Horse >>>> cars. At some point you can't stay in the past any longer

This would work but there should be options. Netflix works because there are still options of normal TV and DVDs. So the service and the ideas remain competitive and no service is completely reliable.

Also at a reasonable cost, a service costing £5 month like Netflix would be the ideal with the amount of content they have.



Hmm, pie.

Gaming is dead to me when something like this happens.

Agreed. I am done with modern gaming if it goes this way. I will be a retro gamer only.

I don't have a car and I get along just fine.

How else are they going to sell their TVs?



Bet with Xander XT: 

I can beat more games on his 3DS than he can on my PSVita in a month. Loser has to buy the winner a game on his/her handheld Guess who won? http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=193531

Do you remember where you read about this? It would be interesting if you had some kind of source. 

It was a year or two ago. Surveys had suggested that in 2012 broadband penetration in the U.S. was at about two-thirds of all households, and it had remained at that level since 2010. According to more recent data, the percentage had increased a bit in 2013, but 30% of households (over 36.7 million homes) still don't have access. It's also worth pointing out that the threshold of what constitutes "broadband" in America is something like 4 mbps DL speed. According to this, only 24% of U.S. households have internet speeds of 10 mbps or above. Arbitrarily low bandwidth caps are still a thing as well. While some countries do typically have better internet access than the U.S., others have it even worse.

Thank you for the data. 

As I live in a Tier 2 country (Sweden), outside any major city, I am full aware that I am not in the target audience for MS, Sony or Nintendo when it comes to selling game consoles. For the 3DS I have no use of Street Pass or 3DS hotspots. I have a 10Mbps internet that when transferred trough my wifi-network in reality is around 1 - 2 Mbps. Altough Netflix trough Wii U and Chromecast works without hiccups.

I always made the assumption that most console gamers lived in cities as small consoles are easier to fit into a small city appartment. PC are for Suburbia.

Wikipedia has altogheter different numbers (who can you belive):

According to wikipedia http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_in_the_United_States 

Internet users     81.0%

Fixed broadband     28.0%     

Wireless broadband     89.8%
