Why Nintendo’s online gaming paranoia could kill the Wii
it’s hardly an industry secret that Nintendo is the most reluctant console manufacturer of “the big three” when it comes to pushing online play on its latest home console. Xbox Live has really set the benchmark when it comes to providing what players now readily expect from a gaming experience that takes them into the wider virtual world outside of their own machine, Sony also seems to want to reach that same wavelength, but Nintendo still appears somewhat cautious about the whole idea – a decision that could potentially harm the chances of the Nintendo Wii in the years to come.

i don’t think that it will “kill” the Wii but it will affect it later on because of the lack of online support. Give me a Nintendo Profile and a hard-drive and the Wii will continue to be sold out for at least 2 more years

You know what’ll make the Wii the greatest thing ever, I mean undoubtably compared to Microsoft and Sony…….if the Wii gets a Metal Gear Game on it.

Yes Metal Gear, that would be an awesome icing to an awesome cake known as the Wii. Sorry that was Corney.
