2012 and people play all sorts of games with 100's of players in the same locale.
2K TRIED to let people create a player in their own likeness and join up with others to make a team, to compete against another 5. It was inexcusably bad for 2 years in a row so, in this iteration the scrapped "Crew Games" altogether.
This was the FIRST sports game I've ignored, and continue to do so. Not saying others should not have purchased it, but anyone who DUMPED countless hours only to sit around for HOURS and cant even get into a Crew Game, shouldn't have supported this insult. In the least, bought it new...
As we can see, companies these days get rewarded for not being able to do something right. A simple 5 ON 5, in which we can click the button and be matched up NORMALLY without having to do foolishness, such as change the actual clock on our consoles to a foreign timezone, in hopes of getting matches faster etc...
2K as a company is a joke. I once liked their product but, I can sit around picking my nose in some MMO with tons of other players and they can't provide a menial feature, but chose to omit it instead.
People focus on the 360 Kinect having patches and the like to improve/ resolve issues.
I'm no engineer but from the start, the Kinects capabilities are bottlenecked by the 360 itself. There is not enough Ram, processing power etc. in order to accommodate what the Kinect is truly intended to do. Ok ao they'll add features but people can stop looking for that Minority Report feel or expect the PC version to be compatible with the 360. (I may be wrong, but on paper, I feel correct)
For writing sake, we can assume that the younger crowd would or could be included into the mix of legal adults. But that would be another sentence added for no reason.
As Groanar said, a "real" aircraft carrier of today has more ordinance and anti everything then one could imagine. Any unauthorized aircraft would most likely be on a suicide mission to attempt an attack.
Their success is based on pricing. We all can go back and forth about personal preference and why x is better than y, but it all boils down to pricing. The initial years of Nintnedo having the least costly system helped bolster their sales worldwide tremendously. Maybe they can repeat this keeping the Wii U under $300 if possible.

Troubleshoot: First, wipe off your glasses with lens cleaner, then open the disc tray. You may see the words Black or Modern on the disc.
