Not hurting the launch at all. Look at the PS3. Games might have online support, but no one is talking about that. With the PS3, the ONLY thing people are talking about is how much money they are making on ebay. At first, for the Wii, people will only be talking about the controller. Once it's not a novelty anymore, people might question the online, but by then there should be some games with online support. No worries.
