The funny thing i hear is that xbox live is better than the nintendo wifi online. Such ridiculous statements are very illogical. In fact i can list 6 reasons why the wii online is better than live.

1. You cant surf the internet

2. You need a $100 wifi adapter to get wi-fi (its free on the wii)

3. You have to pay to get on live

4. Using an ethernet cable to get online is very troublesome if you didnt spend 100$ on the adapter

5. You cant play brawl or mario kart wii online with xbox live

6. There is no wii ware on xbox live

I dare ANYONE to top these points i listed. Its very clear that the wii has better online than the 360

I think what you've stated is basically saying that the Wii's online is more excessible than the 360's. I wouldn't confuse that for having a better online experience.

1. You cant surf the internet---- that's what i have my computer for...

2. You need a $100 wifi adapter to get wi-fi (its free on the wii)-----dont' care

3. You have to pay to get on live----- better games, voice chat.

4. Using an ethernet cable to get online is very troublesome if you didnt spend 100$ on the adapter------ umm no. i use ethernet and am doing fine.

5. You cant play brawl or mario kart wii online with xbox live-----don't really want to.. no voice chat..

6. There is no wii ware on xbox live---don't care.

I dare ANYONE to top these points i listed. Its very clear that the wii has better online than the 360

1. I have a computer for that.

2. My 360 is two feet away from my computer, I'll use a cord.

3. I'll gladly pay for it. $50 isn't that much

4. No its not.

5. You can't play Halo 3 or COD4 with Wii online

6. XNA and XBLA.

Now why XBL is better than Wii Online (Not points I'd actually use)

1. You can't watch movies or TV shows on it.

2. You need to pay extra if you don't have wifi.

3. WiFi is worse than wired

4. You can't play Halo 3 or COD4 on Wii ONline

5. There is no XNA or XBLA on Wii Online.

1. You need an expensive home wi-fi network to use it. The 360 at least comes with a simple cable for the majority of people to use. And also, you dont need to spend $100. You can get any old wifi adapter for $30.

2. You cant surf the internet. If you want that; great. Positive point for the Wii. Doesn't make a difference to me though.

3. You have to pay. But you're paying for something. Simple.

4. Ethernet cable troublesome? You just plug it in. :?

5. Oddly enough, you cant play Brawl or mario kart online with the Wii either. See plethora of angry youtube videos.

6. There is no wii ware. But there is XNA, arcade, and downloable demos. :|

Dude, the PSP's wifi kills the nintendo wifi. PSP-PS3 connectivity is teh win!!!!! Nintendo should use that for the wii and DS

ySo you sheep will be able to transfer the amount of mushroom powerups you have in a game, or probably use the DS to cover your heads incase the wiimote flies off your hands....

Your Wi-fi network and not your internet connection is probly to blame. Are you by chance near the edge of your network hotspot.

When it changes with every game it's a pain, yes. :| And according to you it's so difficult to plug a cable in, so yeah, valid point right there.

Hell no, I have the best connection out of all my friends. And it STILL lags.

Random is just pathetic. Sometimes it even lags when you're playing with more than 2 friends.

Is the fact that Xbox Live has literally hundreds of online games not the winning factor here? How many does the Wii have? Five?

It only took me a few seconds. Everyone knows that Xbox Live is the best console online. Everyone also knows that the Wii has the worest online. So your whole topic is a bit of a joke.

gongytron

ok i've stopped laughing now

1 i have a very capable laptop for that

2 wi fi is too unreliable, i've never had problems with cables

3 so £40 a year for a very good service is a bad thing??

4 utter rubbish

5 do i really have to list every game for the 360 that has class online?

6 a plus i say. so do you have xna or xbla??????

i like you. you make me laugh

That doesn't mean that you can't have packet loss or intranetwork latiency, but it does reduce your chances greatly. Oh well, maybe your just really unlucky. I've had lag, but most of the time it's good.

The fact that Nintendo continues to use its lame friends code system is reason enough for me that online gaming on the Wii will never be as good as XBL or PSN. They seriously need to make some changes if they ever hope to actually compete in the online gaming scene in my opinion.

OK I love my Wii but I'm sorry that's not true, X-Box has it's own version of Wii Ware, and while it may not have the VC it has X-Box classics to download. The main thing is the actual games online, by addind friend codes Nintendo pretty much ruin most of the games, I would happily pay the 80$ a year to get rid of friend codes and have one account name for all my games.

SSBB isn't laggy for me most of the time, and it's free... so no I recon they won't.

That said I was just pointing out that your lag free service isn't so lag free. It's nice that microsoft payed you back and all but that doesn't change the fact that it lagged like hell, so you should probly stop calling it lag free.
