Nintendo: It's not our goal to have the best online.

First Miyamoto says the Wii U won't be powerful and now he says they don't care about online?

Seriously, the thread's title is just very misleading; What he said was, "We're not going to sit here and say that our goal is to become the number one online gaming company, because that's not our goal", and he finished with the following:

"But, understanding that the types of experiences our consumers like to play do often contain elements to them that can be improved or may even require an online connection and also knowing that the system is going to have a browser I think suggests that obviously internet and internet connectivity is going to be very important for the system." He went on to discuss possible creative uses for online. "There are opportunities to take advantage of online to expand a local, same-room multiplayer experiences by connecting that to the internet and making new types of play that way," he said. "Also by having the smaller screen, being able to go online and perhaps see what game your friend is playing or see what TV they're watching, I think there are a lot of possibilities for how you could use that," he said. "Certainly internet functionality is something that will be important for the system."

If anything, his main point was to stress that Wii U's online is an important factor, even if it's not their main goal to try and best the XBLA experience.

Most people would probably just have read to the end of that sentence and then started commenting :P
