The Wikipedia article on the Wii:
| Quote: | | A Nintendo spokesperson has confirmed that Nintendo plans to release a version of the console with DVD-Video playback capabilities in Japan, but that release in other territories is not currently planned. This corroborates an earlier press release by digital media company Sonic Solutions, stating that Nintendo had chosen their CinePlayer CE DVD Navigator software engine to provide this functionality. Even though software will be used to enable DVD-Video functionality, it apparently "requires more than a firmware upgrade" and cannot therefore be implemented through the WiiConnect24 network.[34] |
The source there confirms it too. |
It's outdated. They already said DVD playback is coming out in other countries. |

| The point was that a firmware upgrade won't cut it. |

| It will "cut" it. Wii has a DVD-drive so why should there be anything else necessary than a firmware update? |

| They might have some custom proprietary drive so that they don't have to pay the DVD royalties or something. |
