well you can take it from me as a tech guy (learned the ins and outs of networking for 3 years though i forgot some of it by now^^) that nintendos networking tech should not matter all that much. also lets not forget that there already are 2 activision games running over nintendo network (codblops2 and cod ghosts) plus cod advanced warfare is also comming to wiiu. so the connections are already in place ps: its awesome to see poeple being open to proper discussions and conversations instead of resorting to a pointless screaming contest :D
