As far as I know, Nintendo doesn't run servers for its Wi-Fi games now, so perhaps they do not want to start for an MMO.
I don't see how "non-family friendly" has anything to do with this. An Animal Crossing MMO would be very family-oriented.
Also, I would hesitate to say it's "hurting their chances" at anything. The DS is insanely successful and the Wii is clearly beating the 360/PS3. Even though their online service is very bare-bones, it is quite popular.
