Nintendo doesn't need the best online system and I think it would be foolish for them to try and overtake X-Box Live. Nintendo usually does not follow the competition, they lead. If they aren't leading they improve but they find a way to lead again. Online Nintendo is going to find a way to yet again be a trail blazer whether they are the best or not doesn't matter.
Nintendo already said they are going to give developers freedom to design online the way they want. Emulating likely what we see on PC right now. That may not mean a Live copy but it will lead the industry again because neither Live nor PSN allow the developers to create their own online experiances and networks.
So even if Nintendo doesn't have what gamers consider the best online, yet again Nintendo will be offering a unique and different experiance leading the industry even if it isn't considered the best!
