Consoles Push Online Gaming

Posted by Zonk on from the love-that-connectivity dept.

1up.com has a look at how next-gen consoles will effect the future of gaming online. From the article: "There's little argument even amongst developers that Microsoft has a superior online service, but In-Stat analysts believe that Sony deciding on a pay-to-play service or free gaming is crucial to the expansion of online gaming. 'Microsoft is the only console maker so far to launch a paid subscription service,' says In-Stat analyst Brian O'Rourke."

    Follow nintendo's, and pretty much every PC game, and offer online play for free. Mariokart DS online is quite fun. In fact something like 40% of people have played online which supposedly trumps the stats for every xbox game combined. And this is just a handheld device!!
