They would need to build up some serious infrastructure before they could even think about charging money. I still can't believe they are only now starting to take online seriously.

It hasn't really hurt them so far, near as i can tell. Nintendo hasn't missed out on anything, sales-wise, by having a weaker online infrastructure. The only possibility might be Animal Crossing, but that had more problems than weak online.

For me personally it was one of the reasons why I got an xbox. I haven't bought a Wii game in over a year. Obviously I am only one customer my lack of sales doesn't affect them in any real sense. You are definitely right, it hasn't necessarily hurt them, but they could have been much stronger if they had a better system in place.
