Nintendo could charge for online.

If I were to pay for online Wii then I would expect a network on par with 360. No friend codes, achievments , demo's additional online content. Beta's and other cool features. Nintendo's network is not worth 50$ a year to be honest I've played probubly in total less then five hours online with the Wii. Compare that to about 60-80 hours easily on my 360.

Nintendo doesn't give us enough value to charge anything over 10$ a year and I simply wouldn't pay any more then that, infact I'd be hesitant to even pay that if Nintendo left its features they way they currently are.
