Perrin Kaplan, Nintendo of America's executive vice president of corporate affairs, spoke about online gaming and the GameCube recently.

At DICE roundtable in Las Vegas recently Perry Kaplin spoke about online gaming.

Kaplin stated, "I think from where we stand it looks to us that it's going to be fairly niche for a long time," he continued, "I think some of our interests instead lie in building community on the wireless play front as opposed to the online one."

Nintendo seem to be standing strong to their belief that online console gaming is not mass-market enough to put a lot of money behind developing games.
