If F-Zero and Mario Golf were online, that alone would have me spending more time online with the Gamecube than the XBox for a couple of months.

I paid fifty bucks for a game, and now the publisher wants royalties when I play it? What is this, DivX? :)

EA wants a model where every publisher charges their own fee. You want EA, you pay 12 bucks (or something like that a month). You want Sega, you pay another 10 bucks or so a month. You want Activision, there's another 15 bucks or so a month. Frankly, I believe that this model will fail. I...

Adam, Some others are saying that they are doing the right thing...you aren't one of them. Similarly, I'm not one of those who are saying this is the death of Nintendo...just that it is the wrong thing to do and it will hurt them. I can't understand those who hope for Nintendo's demise any...

2.4 million network adapters not a lot. Well, I think it's a lot. Sony + XBox have sold a lot of networking gear when you consider that the killer apps (Halo, Gran Turismo, Madden, etc) aren't even here yet. Plus we've got people like Morgan who insist that there won't be 3 to 4 million...

Rob, I hear your argument, and others feel the same way. I don't see it happening. Nintendo has been losing customers for years, they'll keep losing customers for the next two years, and I don't see them coming back regardless of what Nintendo is doing online or otherwise at that point. I...

Why release networking for one game? Even Saturn and Dreamcast had multiple online games! Let me get this straight. Nintendo has gone from first place (NES over Sega Master System) ...to tied for first place (SNES and Genesis over Turbografx) ...to second place (N64 beats Saturn but...

In any business, if you are asking 'how many consumers are consuming product X today', instead of 'what is the growth rate of product X', you are setting yourselves up to fail. The number of online console gamers today is far less relevant than the growth of online console gaming. It is...

Nintendo is about to recycle, for the third and fourth time each, two games I enjoy a lot. Mario Golf, and F-Zero. I'd buy them both. But at this point, the idea of buying a sport or racing title that I can't play online is unattractive. I'm genuinely disappointed.
