You're speculating. Also, rule of thumb is the one with the least knowledge and strength learns/grows the fastest. The higher your level, the slower your evolution pace. It's the same here. Nint has lots to learn, and will catch up relatively quickly, I disagree with Mr. Melon on that.
I'm speculating in the same way saying the PS4 will be more powerful than the PS3 is speculating. It's inevitable that the online services will receive a massive upgrade, and judging by what we know of the Wii U (which is quite a lot), it's on-par with PSN and XBL as it is right now. I don't think they'll catch up quickly, it took PSN years to get anywhere close to the level of XBL, and 6 years on it's still playing catch-up.

Yeah. I guess the difference is that with processing power we can guess benchmarks (which we discussed already privately). What would your expectations be for Network improvements that Nintendo hasn't already implemented, let alone fabulated or designed?
Are you talking about what PSN/XBL features will be in next-gen, and what the WiiU will be lacking? I don't know, but I also never imagined stuff like trophies/improvements to the stores/chat features/apps etc. coming to PSN. There will definitely be big strides made though, it just makes way too much sense for there not to be, especially for Sony (who are already pattenting shit for their network that we've not seen before, will find article if you want).
I just don't see it, honestly, and streaming, though convenient, isn't a must.
Streaming games? I agree, don't care about it right now, it's really just a good way of getting BC without putting a PS3 in the PS4 for me, but that's just one feature.
Long term I would like them to catch up on it though, but it isn't a make it or break it kind of thing. At this point, I don't think there is a make it or break it for Nintendo's online offering, they seem to have everything they need (from what we know this far at least). Obviously they can always improve on latency and how well it's streamlined and integrated, but if MiiVerse is any indicator, Nintendo is likely being humble when they said they had lots to catch up to, imho.
Everything they have now, seems great now, because it's all the other platforms have now, once the 2 other next gen consoles get released, Ninty will be lacking features that other players are loving on Orbis and Durango. It was a big problem for the PS3 against the 360, I'm afraid it'll be a big problem here (not for the ninty diehards of course, but for the rest of the core audience they're aiming for, the guys who stuck to PS360 this gen).
But I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt on this point. I'll give you a nice "Maybe" and eagerly await what Sony and MS have in store to keep Ninty on their toes (and rightly so).
