Oh deary me, sorry for missing this important distinction.
"Fortunately we have a product for people who aren't able to get some form of connectivity; it's called Xbox 360."
You might recall this line of thinking got MS into trouble last time, eh?
But seriously though, stop with the Steam comparisons already. You do it every thread. It's no less disingenuous every time you bring it up. Stop.
It's also no less true. You wanting it not to be true so you can hate on it , doesn't make it false.
You should also re read what you posted above. The key word in the quote is SOME
This is 2013 not 1996. I know that for sony fans the ability to connect to the internet is a realitvely new concept that came about late in the ps2's life and was an expensive add on with only a handful of game support and for the ps3 it was still a mess of a system that got better over the generation. But some of us have been online gaming with consoles since the Saturn . Its become a way of life to have a system allways plugged in or wifi connected.
Hell I started being connected online through sega channel back in the 16 bit days .
I'm ready for the industry to move forward and no stay stuck in the past.
