you mean buying the game as a scratch card? But if nintendo ever do that, or microsoft / sony, they will loose million of customers, because not all people have internet connection! I mean, millions of pc gamers, turn into console gaming because of that. If they force gamers to have internet connection, then everybody will roll back into cheap pc hardware and pirate the games instead. And I am up for it, I invest my money mostly in pc hardware, as i have it as a hobby (like a nice car), for my work and my games and I see it coming from million others too. Nobody have the right to force me pay bills, be able to play!
Memory RAM is something totally different from hdd.. I dont think I will ever invest in sd cards, I will keep up whatever it already has.. Plus that I never buy digital copy of the games... Its not my thing, I always collect.
What you said about origin that its a stupid rumor and nintendo will have their own UI, thats good news for me. Honestly, I will never invest a single "p", sent... to a steam or origin game. I see this companies with a very bad eye. When I buy a game by bethesda, capcom, bioware, etc.. I by a game by bethesda, capcom, bioware, etc.. Not steam or origin.. I dont recognize them, accept them or agree with their eulas.
Do you really believe that 100 million nintendo customers, have internet connection? If nintendo ever decides to distribute the games only as a digital copy? (thats an example)... I bet they will loose at least 80 million customers, if they ever do that. Want me to remind you a psp version, without cartridge??? What happened? I bet if xbox720 or ps4 works only online, they will remove it from the market, after 6 months.
Another reason I am scared this online thing, is that
I use this product and if nintendo or any network is scanning my system, there is no reason for me to connect it, or use it at all, or buy other hardware.. This product comes with built in pc hardware, to reduce our main systems cpu consumption.. Its a home/small business file system server. I hope wii U will be legit, so I can have 8 tera in my disposal. (if u read its specs, its ps3 and 360 compatible, so I believe is gonna be wii U too..) Generally I dont want consoles to scan my privacy..
