There's one very simple thing Nintendo could do to get people online...

...simply give away a wiiware game for free..and advertise the hell out of the promotion.

Tell your average consumer to "connect your wii online and claim your free game"..and there would be a flood of new connections.

Nintendo is doing that right now with the DSi. If it does extremely well, they could do something similar with the Wii, but I have a feeling that they aren't that desperate for people to connect online with the Wii.

 

 

I don't know. With a streaming video service just released in Japan, and with other online services already in place and who knows what else coming down the pipe, I think Nintendo has ample incentive to try to get more of the Wii userbase to hook their Wiis into the interwebs.

They might not be desperate, but they might also stand to gain more than they lose through such a promotion.
