So you may sign on to play a rousing game of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles XBLA with a random person, but good luck finding anyone to play with unless you and a friend plan before hand to meet online (which is what I usually do). To me, if the meat and potatoes (yum) aren't in the single player, then the game is a failure to me. That's why I don't own shit like Warhawk. That's why I only played the Resistance 2 beta for 30 seconds before coming bored and deleting it. Online gaming seems to me to be more for people who don't have friends close to them at the moment in real life that can come over and play. That's why I play online when I do... just for a quick, casual game with friends I know in real life.

It seems that we agree on something, at least. :)

I couldn't care less about online gaming myself, but the games available for download are specifically what I was referring to.

And the Wii isn't THAT bad. Metroid Prime 3 was pretty good, and Super Mario Galaxy was awesome. None of the systems today have exactly a TON of exclusive games that make them worth owning, anyway. (the Wii probably has more than the other two, but whatever)

Yeah Metroid Prime 3 and Super Mario Galaxy are both phenomenal and the reason I keep my Wii. Beyond that...

I agree about the quantity and quality of the downloadable games. I love that I was able to download the arcade versions of Golden Axe and TMNT, etc despite Digital Eclipse's shoddy emulation. I also love my Rez HD. PSN only seems to have originals and I haven't seen anything really worth downloading yet. Pixeljunk Monsters is cool, but I hear it is balls-to-the-wall hard after the first few levels.

I was also curious about Echochrome.
