I uninstalled Origin after that! No it doesn't. There's some tracking software tied in with Origin, but guess what? There's tracking software tied in with Steam, PSN, XBLA and the Nintendo download platforms as well.

Does it really matter which service the Wii U uses? EA is already helping Nintendo with their online infrastructure, so adopting Origin is an obvious choice, right? Nintendo is (hopefully) in the process of repairing its relationships with third parties and IMO Valve/Steam is a better fit towards reaching that goal. EA/Origin would still be able to help Nintendo modernize their online approach, but ultimately Nintendo would be signing a deal with a blockbuster publisher; so we would see the EA big budget cross platform releases, but there'd be no guarantee that Nintendo would get the boost in third party activity that it needs. We most likely wouldn't see any Valve/Nintendo collaborations, for example. Plus, the Steam marketplace is constantly doing promotions or themed sales, and practically throws bargains at you, which is the kind of environment Nintendo needs to learn how to create if it wants to succeed at digital distribution... text brick

PSN is operated by Sony. With the PS2, Sony let developers handle their own online networks cause they didn't have their own "Xbox Live" at that time. PSN is a unified service, like Xbox Live, and it's controlled only by Sony.

PSN is a unified service, like Xbox Live, and it's controlled only by Sony. The server upkeep for PSN is done by a Third party. It isn't done in house like Mircosoft's. http://www.joystiq.com/2009/11/11/ps3-modern-warfare-2-experi... YThat's why Mircosoft charges for Live. The cost goes into in house server upkeepin house from a company who one of main sources of revenue deals with that. Edited on Sun 20th November, 2011 @ 01:09 by Sony_70

Bankai	51. Posted: Sun 20th Nov 2011 08:33 GMT Really. You're using a story whose validity is questionable in the first place, but more imporantly is 2 years old as proof? Given the PlayStation hack of this year targeted Sony datacentres, I think things might have changed in two years.
