According to gaming magazine Edge, upcoming Wii’s will playing DVD’s before you know it. If Nintendo has it’s way you can expect Wii’s capable of playing DVDs sometime in 07.
How is this going to affect Wii sales this Holiday season? I don’t think that most potential Wii buyers will be concerned with DVD playback, mainly because everyone has a DVD player already. In addition, DVD playback does not fit into Nintendo’s marketing plan to be the “second” console everyone buys. Let’s not forget PS3’s and Xbox 360’s are DVD ready.
