"Nintendo tries to add multiplayer to every game, whether it makes sense (Metriod Prime) or not (Pikmin 2)."
When did prime have multiplayer? And when has nintendo been known for their multiplayer? Aside from mario party, super smash and mario kart, most of their games have been single player. In addition to that, they have scrapped online multiplayer from pretty much every game they have ever made and they are just now recovering and mending their ways with the DS and revolution.
I'd just say that they try to add multiplayer into their games just as much as microsoft (halo) and sony (...) ok well msft. ha.
what if I get a game that I decide just plain sucks and want to return it the next day? Normally, stores won't take back an opened game but some will and give store credit, others will trade it in as a used game. I just see it as another option to move money around more in the gaming industry. I sell a game that I get tired of after a month for $20 or something and typically my guess would be that the money from that would then go back into buying more games (probably from a different developer) especially since gamestop and others offer more cash if you accept store credit instead of cash.
My guess is that used games could potentially help the industry rather than hurting it especially with the way it is implemented currently with many stores giving credit to buy more games.
