@Lord Flashheart: Of course he can talk about it as much as likes to. That goes for how people perceive the talk just as well. If you want to discuss the matter, feel free to do so. This is a internet forum that exist for the purpose, don't whine when someone makes a comment that doesn't please you.

Let's put in more understandable form: Segregating (the user) from open to access internet and use their own proprietary restricted service instead.
Whether you use the console webbrowser is irrelevant since the browser is there anyway, handy and is a very fast way to access the internet, since the time it takes to start your exceeds by multiple factor the time it takes to start your Wii and go to the webpage preferred. It's also handy to use in the comfort of your couch.
I always thought it was Sega with Dreamcast that made online playing a standard in games consoles.
And yes, i can play games online with both of the consoles, so i didn't get the point of the "Nintendo consoles" comment.
Live as the most successful console internet service depends on the measure used. If we are talking about the number of people who pay to get to play in it, then yes. If we are talking about the service with most users, then no (though, my information is a little old).
To put the "haters" into perspective, don't be such a fanboy to jump the gun every time someone says something about M$ you don't like.
@NJ5: To be specific, the innovation didn't come from M$, it was the israeli company that M$ bought last summer.
Other than that, they obviously are seeking ways to use it.
