Nintendo MUST set up a real internet play system. Preferably with the Gamecube, before this new system comes out. They must. If they keep ignoring net gaming, even launching at the same time won't save them... net gaming is huge and growing faster than ever, and Nintendo just CANT keep ignoring it! If they do, it'll eventually catch up with them and lead to another failed console as people buy other ones to get online (and, presumably, harddrives too-- another thing Nintendo should have in their next console but I don't know if they will).
As for this announcement, it really was needed. While it probably will hurt the Cube some, its necessary for Nintendo to even TRY to be competitive... the N64 and Gamecube proved that coming a year late doesn't work anymore (unlike like how it worked with the SNES). So this news is good... i just want to see Nintendo break some of its other seeming unwritten rules and come up with a decent internet plan...
