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.

Actual the point does change. Just because most of us can do it, doesn't mean everyone can or want to. There are folks who want these games. And you can see that simply by the fact that retro collection generally sell pretty well and if you go to malls or anything you will probably see those plug n play games that people go crazy for.
And again, your point with the PSP depends on the person. I had a friend who was going to buy either a PSP or a video iPod and she was leaning towards the PSP because unlike the iPod it did offer internet. Is that an everyday occurence? No, but it is possible.
And why shouldn't they market it as one of the system's biggest assests?
Sure they should and will market their own new games on the system.
But I can see some people's decision coming down to simply being able to play classics like the original Mario Bros or Sonic game again in addition to new Rev games.
Heck, I would go a step further and say I wouldn't be surprised if they offered some retro downloads as a compliment to buying their new games.
