In the weekends we have 800 people playing socom at any time while UK or France have maybe 500 and those countries are much much bigger.Thats where i don't agree with you. I don't think it will be anymore important because it hasn't really caunt on and most people don't. Especially with all the stupid punks out there that want to cheat and make peoples lives hell on them.. Watch friend play SoCom i think was the name of it. But all and all i don't think that is the problem. The problem is everyone still views nintendo as a kids system and that is somewhat true with the games. though they are trying to change that..
But I think the possibilities with online gamming are endless and the importance will grow and not having online support for the GC has harmed them and their reputation and they have falling back to the opposition. Nothing that can't be overcome but having to be able to play metroid or that melee game online would have been cool.
I'm positive that online gaming and other online utilities will be very important for the next gen.
But again i don't belive either having an online in effect or not will affect much.. and anyways i can already play Mario Kart: DD online using tunnelling programs and the network adapter.
