Complete bullshit, to the n^n'th extreme.

Nintendo would never use BluRay - and don't care about movie playback. If they did, they would earn Sony a lot of money (they make nothing off movies).

Nintendo would never do a worldwide simultaneous release. Its a sure way to lose money.

Trade-in? Why? What happens to all the software on the Wii?

Would a BluRay player be compatible with existing Wii discs? GC discs? I think not.

Still making massive $$ on the Wii, with Zelda, Metroid, Galaxy II (etc) all scheduled to release next year (or later) on the Wii. Release a new console? Why?

100% BS.

First of all Blu Ray isn't just Sony format. Sony doesn't own format completely. It has been said several times.

And Nintendo chooses format which is best for them. If that format is created by Sony then they choose it even if it earns money for Sony. Companies don't hate each other, if co-operation is best way to make money then they do it. Proof: Toshiba makes almost all Cell prosessors for Sony (Sony sold those factories for Toshiba) and MS earns money from Blu Ray because they own some codecs which many Blu Ray movies uses.

Wii had almost worldwide release because it was released in Japan, USA and Europe in 2-3 weeks from each other.

Still, I don't think this rumor is true either.

I don't see shams mentioned Sony owns Blu-ray format.
