Re: Nintendo shutting down WiFi connection on Wii and DS
This is an entire system (well, two) they're talking about though... and they still have a lot of people playing it. Nintendo, of all console companies, should know how older games can remain popular for a long time, and even get new jumps in popularity later on (look at twitchplayspokemon for instance, that was with the original Gameboy game and tens of thousands of people were watching for weeks). And honestly, if fewer people are playing, that just makes it easier to keep the servers running, since they need less bandwidth and storage space.
