You are right on one sense, there is no reason for NINTENDO not to support both. If we (those of use with 100's of CD converted to MP3 fo rmany, many years) 'just convert' to AAC then...all of our MP3 players won't work. This is monumentally stupid on Nintendo's part. 90% of the mp4 file are out there are from iTunes and they ONLY work with the iPod they were purchased with.
Outside of DRM crippled itunes, no one uses MP4 for anything. That is whay every portable device, including EVERY ipod/itouch ad iPhone plays MP3 files! Sheesh!
Ninentdo has managed to create a 'music player' (using the term loosely here) that won't play any DRM AAC llike iPods, and also won't play and non-DRM encumbered MP3 files.
Let's summarize:
| Device | DRM AAC? | AAC | MP3 |
| iPod, etc | Y | Y | Y |
| Creative Muvo | N | N | Y |
| Creative Zen | N | Y | Y |
| PSP | N | Y | Y |
| iDNS | N | Y | N |
| PS3 | N | Y | Y |
| Everything Else | N | ? | Y |
I challenge anyone to find any other music player, that does NOT play MP3. This is truly a first!
Trying to convince me the Wii is a real adult game machine 'if you play it right' is like trying to convince me Tofu tastes great 'if you just cook it right'
