I would have to mostly agree. Its obvious the only reason Xbox exists is to ensure Sony doesn't become the defacto home entertainment box.

Nintendo is and always will be a games maker. They create games and make money off of the hardware/software for games.

Nintendo adding a browser (that's not made by them) and potentially a download video service (also not made by them) is solely to add more benefits to buy their hardware and eventually their software. Not because they want the Wii or nextWii to be a home entertainment system.

These items don't cost them $$ to add as they end user must pay them to download the services. This is why Nintendo systems have never played disc movies, otherwise Nintendo would have to pay royalty fees.

However, I bet we will get dlc as that will solely be billed to the user who wants it.

Personally, I would still just build a entertaiment PC if I wanted one. But, that is not mainstream, xbox/ps are.
