Nintendo is in fact interested in networking gaming

The sales of Nintendo Wii are shattering expectations. The console is selling out big time and it is still hard to find an unsold unit in stores in the markets it is available in.

However, gamers are generally disappointed that the console offer little network gaming support. People have even said that the company seems to have missed out on the networking gaming genre which is being dominated by Microsoft’s Xbox Live service.

Nintendo seems to be working on plans to fix this as Miyamoto was quoted as saying in the media: “I prepared myself for the possibility that Wii might face an uphill battle in America, so to see that it has become this big of a hit is something I wasn’t particularly expecting… There are other enhancements to the Wii interface and developments being planned that are going to really make games for hardcore players a lot more fun and interesting… A lot of people have the misunderstanding that Nintendo is not interested in network gaming.”

This should be pretty cool. Worth waiting considering it’s the Nintendo we are talking about!
