Default Re: Next Generation Plans

It's because nintendo doesnt understand online gaming fully.

Nintendo believes that people wont pay an extra service fee like Microsoft has for Xbox live. Which is some degree is true. some people like me wont.

However nintendo believes that they have to put up the servers to host games so people can play online, there by loosing money if they offer it free like Sony. Which is False. the players can be the hosts for the servers themselves. much line sony does online. one player hosts and another connects.

My hope is that consoles will integrate more with computers and people can set up full servers to run 24/7 like they do on PC games. except hosting console games instead.

Nintendo needs to do a little more research because making a game online compatable doesnt make them lose money, it makes the game sell more.
