To get blu-ray, I think they would need an in with the blu-ray consortium. Sony and Apple probably wouldn't want them in. So Disney, in my opinion, would be their most obvious in with the blu-ray consortium. And Disney probably has reasons that they would want Nintendo to have blu-ray.

Why wouldn't Sony and Apple want Nintendo in? There will be more royalty for them if Nintendo is able to sell a shit load of consoles with BD drive. And even more money if all games on Nintendo consoles are on BD discs.

You make it sound like Nintendo is so desparate to get on the BD train so that they find a way in through a partner (Disney in this case)

 

 

 

No.  I feel that Disney is the company that is desparate for the market leader in videogames to have blu-ray.  Obviously a more powerful console could have better realized the concept art for Epic Mickey.  I also feel that they are considering putting Kingdoms Heart 3 on Wii, but Nomura is saying he will only do it on a console with the capabilities of the hd consoles and blu-ray so as not to compromise his vision for the game.

 

Last month a statement was made in Square Enix to the effect of the Wii doesn't match up with what Square is looking for in a console, but that in 2011 it will.
