Mario Strikers Charged has been out for over a month now and you can play it online. It does use the friend code system, but also uses a matching system to play against total strangers.
The new Madden game has online play, and it does not use Nintendo's friend code system. I've not played this to see if it is any good yet, but it is a third party game using the Wii's online play which is a good step in the right direction
This just shows how well the Wii is doing. The only reason the PS3 was number one in the first place was because Amazon does not have Wiis for sale at retail price. Despite that fact, the Wii has regained the top spot over the $499 PS3. More people are buying Wiis that are being resold at a price typically marked up over $100 than they are buying PS3s at retail value. I will not disagree that the PS3 has been selling better since the price drop, but it is still selling nowhere near the rate of the Wii.
You shouldn't be comparing the PS3 and Wii sales on Amazon. You can buy a PS3 for regular price (now $499), but all the Wiis available on Amazon are people reselling them with the current minimum cost after shipping of over $400. It's ridiculous to try to compare those two things in order to make a point.
This is not meant to be some fanboy comment looking to push the Wii, but just a math nerd pointing out the flaws in your logic.
If the Wii continues to outsell the XBox 360 by around 150k units per month they will catch up around Christmas 2008. Considering finding a Wii is still extremely hard in some areas (took me over a week to find one online, still haven't seen one in a store) there seems to still be an enormous demand and I wouldn't be surprised to see these two consoles very close after everything plays out.

2004? I remember playing Bond as a part of a Christian school organization back in high school.
