So for many people it will be a selling point even if not for people on this forum.

On that note, it doesn't seem like the deal with Sega and Hudson is exclusive. As I believe that, Sega is working with MS on the XBLA.

On that same note, much like XBLA, small developers will be able to sell their games over the virtual console.

doesnt matter if they know how to get them or not, the fact is they are out there and always have been. that fact doesnt change just because of peoples ignorance.

but thats totally not the point. point is that being able to do it to me is just not at all worth the purchase all by itself... its like i didnt know that i could get the internet on laptops or pda's, so getting the internet on the psp was its main selling point and worth the purchase all by itself. (which is not the case because there are cheaper ways if that was the main point)

its a nice extra feature, to the main console (which is what should and will be the main selling point)

also i dont think nintendo will be trying to market this as a main selling point, if they did, i think they'd be living in the past a little too much. I think it'll be marketed along the same lines of xbox lives arcade. probably a little more tho.
