By including wi-fi in the DS and the Wii Nintendo has shown (on the hardware side) that they are incredibly forward thinking. But their Friend Code system actively discourages use of their network.
Why do you think Nintendo went this way? Have they ever publicly stated the reason? I know the commonly given reason in the community is that they are protecting children from predators but is this really the reason?
I'll refrain from giving my theories until I hear from all y'all.

Can't you do that on xbox games? :/
You can indeed do that on LIVE.
I mean...not you, but the place where you read that crap.
I hope so. But if its not true its even more BS that nintendo can't sort things out.
Is a hard drive intergral to this sort of thing? Is the internal memory not enough?
