part of the problem with console on line games is that many of them require the montly payment

and the number of users who want to pay the monthly payment is small.

i sure as hell will not pay anything extra to play a game.

console games have it a bit rougher cuz unlike computers. people cant setup dedicated servers.

Playing games online is a big thing. Nintendo is a bit blind in that reguard. Online games are NOT going away. online games have been around on computers for years and years now. they get stronger and stronger. i dont see why nintendo cant see this.

it just sounds like nintendo sees no way to play them besides nintendo setting up a server. in which case it wouldnt be profitable. but to include a way to connect to other users does not cost them money. users dont really NEED nintendo's servers.

personally i dont get consoles for online games. my PC is what i use for online games. but there are some console exclusive games that would be fun to play online.

Sooner or later Nintendo will be forced to see the internet is important. just gotta hope they see it soon.
