Speaking to Edge, Miyamoto confessed that Nintendo is desperate to realise its "core [online] business structure".
"Do we need to demand customers pay monthly fees to enjoy online activities? Or give an online subscription that is free of charge, but then offer something extra for people that pay, so that they get some extra value?
"With these core business strategies I think we are less active than we should be," he explained.
He also defended Nintendo's reputation for a perceived lack of proactivity in the online spectrum, saying that such comments are unfair.
"The fact of the matter is that we always want all Wii consoles to be connected online, all the time, so Nintendo has never been less than proactive in that kind of endeavour," he added.
"It is true, though, that Nintendo hasn't been very proactive in developing such online activities as an MMOG."
Nintendo games are currently free to play online via Wi-Fi on the Wii and DS.
