Nintendo - CD/DVDs on Wii? - View Post

I suspect that if they do add it, it will become a channel and there will be wii points involved. I'm certain there will have to be some kind of software to enable playback and that software will require a license fee of some sort. I'm sure that's why it isn't there in the first place -- to keep the Wii as cheap and profitable as possible.

I suspect it is to keep the Wii as profitable as possible. How much would it cost Nintendo to include this and would it really increase the retail price? I doubt it, as I think the retail price is not really driven by the HW cost, at least for the Wii. I assume Nintendo could sell it in Europe for 199 EUR and still make a profit. Currently, its 249 EUR.
