Once again Shiggy seems confused more than anything regarding questions on the graphical style of WW. I don't think he even knows people here think the style is "childish" or removing the mood of the game. I bet he doesn't even see that at all, like most of Japan. I like that kind of ignorance! Charming sir!
Gamespy's spoofer isn't just for Halo, it works on EVERY SINGLE XBox net linked game, simply because it has no way of detecting what game it is, and it doesn't care WHAT data it's sending back and forth. You can go into the Halo chat room and link up two systems with TS2 easily. That's how "dumb" the system is. Just wanted to clarify.
Anyway, once again they seem to be missing the point. Online games alone don't equal sales. No, selling online games alone doesn't pay for themselves and net extra profit. However, the whole point is that selling online games makes the system more attractive, meaning more sales there, and that makes more games attractive aside from just online ones since they now have the system, so more sales there. It's indirect profit Nintendo! I however, am not certain if Miyamoto's respone is actually his own opinion or just what he's been told to say whenever they are asked about it. I suspect he deep down realizes how great online play would be, but his lips are sealed. He's a very creative guy, he has to see the amazing things he could do.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
