Seriously. If Nintendo wants to compete with the big boys, they need to drop this "friend code!" bullshit and get with the times. You'll continue to lag behind Microsoft and Sony with no online option. It's that simple.
However, I'll add this as well. IF Nintendo turns out to be able to run the same games as Microsoft and Sony down the road, they'll eventually catch up and probably begint to lead the console race. Let's say that all three major companies release new consoles, and Nintendo is able to run any of them, as well as have online play, all that separates the consoles is their exclusive titles.
Let's face it: Zelda, Mario, Metroid, etc. > Everything else

Nintendo needs to find a way to move third party software. The Wii's hardware sales have always been high, higher than both PS3 and X360, and their first party games sell well. But Nintendo has ALWAYS had trouble getting good third party support. The reports say they're trying very hard to get good third party support, a serious step in the right direction. Zelda and Mario are great and all but they can only take a system so far.

^ PERFECT style for Zelda.
If this news is true though I wouldn't be surprised if Skyward Sword got delayed so they could do a dual Wii/Wii HD launch like they did for TP.

Honestly, who cares about third party support on Nintendo consoles anymore? While it was great in the old days of N64 with RARE and the SNES with all those games, now I just buy Nintendo console just for Nintendo games and I doubt this is gonna change anytime in the near future.
