This comparison misses something key, the Wii's innovation wasn't aimed in this direction. The Wii completely broke the mold in a number of other, apparently (by its sales), more significant ways. I can fully appreciate not building an architecture which would allow this kind of updates because they were focusing in a different direction. When the Wii was released internet console gaming wasn't what it is now. If they weren't designing for that as a priority I can see how they got where they are. As other people have said the Wii's success is something they can build on for the next version. I imagine that Nintendo will produce something that extends the best bits of the Wii but also integrate an internet experience that has proven to be successful on the Xbox 360.
