Wait wait wait. Where was I defending Nintendo? I never said they are doing the right thing. I never said anybody should be happy about what they're doing. If I have, I take it back right now with profoundest apologies.
All I'm saying is that you don't know for sure that they've done the wrong thing by apparently deciding to wait until the next generation to go online. Nintendo doesn't either, but they have a much better idea than you.
This could end up being a mistake on the same level as going with carts in the N64 generation. I'm not discounting the possibility. But think about how unpredictable this industry is.
You have every right to complain about Nintendo doing things that don't satisfy the consumer. You are a consumer, after all. But you can't claim that what you want is also good for Nintendo. You just don't know that it is.
