I work for one of the major gaming platforms and everyday I see people banned for just this reason, and they'll always comment on the fact it's not illegal and that they bought a system from us only for us to then ban It, and that they wish they'd bought our competitors system instead. Well guys, buying hardware is one thing, do want you want with that but our networks are another when you sign up to them you agree to abide by certain rules, and if you break these rules you agree that we can terminate your access to the network. Simple, its a legal contract. Companies aren't just going to allow people to connect to their network if they're doing something which can actively damage it and undermine other consumer's experiences. So, in short, yes, I wholeheartedly agree with Nintendo's decision; they have every right to make it.
