The whole problem with the "Online gaming doesn't matter" argument is that you assume that the gaming patterns of people today will be the same in ten years. Guess what? They probably won't.
Online gaming has been on the rise for the last couple of years with Diablo 2, PSO, and the ever popular Everquest. More and more gamers are going online everyday.
Also, boriadband service is expanding by leaps and bounds also. I have read estimates from Verizon that Broadband will hold the majority for Internet connections worldwide in the next 5 years.
Gamers don't go online a lot today? Ok, I'll buy that. But it is the fool that stays in ther present without looking to the future.
