Will Nintendo's Secret Weapon This Holiday Be a Price Cut...On Wii Fit?

Microsoft added the Wifi and changed the shape of its console and it is selling extremely well even without a price cut.

Sony cut the price but sold a console smaller, without backwards compatibility and with bigger HDD and it sold a lot, like never before.

Nintendo could do the same: make a Wii with a different shape (not only smaller), in different colours, add an HDD or a bigger flash memory, install a channel to read DVDs and bundle it with a pair of games (Wii Party and DK) for 179$. Do you think it would have a smaller Christmas than last year? No, that would push the Wii to its limits.

Not possible, since recent Wii disc drives can only read discs with a burst cutting area. This excludes writeable discs, and most DVDs.

How does my homebrew manages to read it then?

It's about software instead of hardware, so yes, read DVDs isn't out of reach.
