i dont regard online as being as important as MS and Sony make out, out of all my friends who own consoles, about 10% play online and some don't even have the internet. Investing tons of money into something only a small amount of people can use doesn't make much sense, in the same way Nintendo didn't make the Wii HD.
By next generation there will be a lot more HDTV and broadband users out there worldwide, especially as streaming HDTV is becoming more popular. I expect Nintendo's next machine to have a 'home', a marketplace and who knows what else.
The current Wii online services such as Opera, news, weather and the VC seem to be aimed at the non gamer, or the ex gamer wanting to relive the classics.
We have to remember the whole we = wii thing is aimed at local multiplayer, not swearing down a microphone because you just got shot by someone you couldn't see as their internet is 5x faster than yours.
