I think the main reason it hasn't broken through yet is:
-ps2 online gaming sucks compared to pc. To much lag and to many cheaters. sony needs to invest.
-xbox partially failed because it isn't free and you need a cc to sign up. You can choose the free thing (xboxconnect??) but that has the same problems as the ps2 community or so I heard.
For the people who have gone online on a console (myself included) it has become a very important part of gaming for us. I'm hooked and almost everyone I speak to online is hooked aswell. Its really awesome sitting in front of your tv and talking through your headset playing your favorie game against real people.
Anyway, we'll see who's right
. Its here to stay and if the companies perfect it (no cheats no lag) I think it wil become big, possibly even bigger than offline gaming. Atleast for the people who can get it online.
