Yeah... oh, there is a PC market in Japan, but it's very small compared to the console market... yeah, in the US it's smaller than the console market, but it's quite a bit larger than theirs. And online games STILL aren't popular there, consoles or no... I think it's been growing, slowly, but it's still not where it is in the US, much less Korea...
FFXI is pretty popular there anyway.
And actually ABF, I'll say you don't have to actually play Wifi to read about it and determine how it works that way, but you DO have to know how it works before you can criticize it. I was under the impression you had at least read up on it, what it can and can't do, before deciding that it was not enough.
"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)
