A lot.  Check any of the NPD or other research firms reports and you'll note that it wasn't long ago the PS3 surpassed Wii in online usage. 

People love to make generalizations against Wii while the majority of them are completely false.  The notion that few Wii owners even play online (such as your post is insinuating) has been refuted by data since it launched.

 

EDIT:
LOTN, that goes without saying for every game.  It's also been a major detriment to the sales for many Wii titles.  For example, THQ slammed Wii owners for the palty sales of Deadly Creatures yet admitted that they never ran a single TV ad for it.

And what are Wii owners playing online? Mario Kart? Smash Bros? MH3? We don't know if 3rd party games account for a significant amount of online activity or how much EA games were being played online.

Also, NPD is NA only right? Last I checked the Wii has a huge userbase lead over the PS3 in America. Perhaps online gaming on the Wii would still be ahead of the PS3 if Nintendo actually made people care about online gaming.
