Since I see that you have tendency to lean towards the PS2... it too hasn't been offering to many original games.

Also making new titles for online is WAY too risky, they will most likely bomb. If a game like Final Fantasy can't cut it... how will newcomer titles do it?? Also don't forget that online titles need more testing, development time, and money.

Also only because Retro made Metriod Prime a benchmark in gaming, WHAT on earth gaurantees that their online FPS will sell even if it's good.
1) Final Fantasy XI is online only, and requires an add-on HDD
2) 'with online play in mind' does not mean online only...far from it, actually
3) Nintendo is an innovative development company. Where did I say it wasn't?
4) SOCOM, a mostly-online title, has sold over 1 million copies in the United States. Would that qualify as a success?
