Can't compete with live

Good idea for the portable DS users, but it can't come close to competing with Xbox live. But for those sheltered kids who only get to use nintendo stuff, I doubt they will get it because of parents being anti-internet. Unfortunately for Nintendo, like 80% of their customers are these sheltered kids who have never played an FPS game in their lives.

Who said it was made to compete with Live?

Where do you get your skewed numbers from? Nintendo caters to all crowds not just kids. Who wants to sit and play FPS all day long anyways?

Even if it wasn't designed to, it will make a great competitor. Free online play for first-party titles assures that. A Super Smash Brothers title with free online play at launch is pratically a killer app.

I agree. It's great to see something like this.

That's what I'm trying to figure out. McLovin See Profile must be confused.
