Online gaming is a big plus for the gamer...while companies don't make much money from it at the moment, they should give the damned thing a chance...lots of gamers love it, and if it is a devastating financial blow to the company, they can pull out of it when they have to (it certainly hasn't killed Microsoft, or dethroned Sony). If a console manufacturing company can't afford to give their consumers the complete gaming experience, then they should stick to developing games for systems that can give the consumer the complete gaming experience.
Nintendo fans:
You don't work for or own any stock in Nintendo, so why should you care if they take a little financial hit in order to present you with an online gaming experience? If at any time you think "meh, who cares about online gaming on PS2 and XBox, those companies are losing some money" just remember there will be thousands of gamers who will be enjoying the hell out of online PS2 and XBox titles. Oh, and I bet we'd all love to play some Mario Kart online, too...
