I think a DVD player in a console made sense in 2002, but these days? I can buy one for 40€... This makes some sense in Japan, where apparently they live in very small homes, and size makes a lot of difference (their biggest complaint about the original Xbox was that it was too big). Having one device less may be attractive to them.. But to us here? With one or more dedicated DVD players at home, not to mention one per PC? Would you play, say, 30€ more for the DVD-playing Wii? Me, I don't think I would. I don't think I'd ever use that functionality... Well… I think a DVD player in a console made sense in 2002, but these days? I can buy one for 40€…
