It's a bad idea to watch DVDs on your console anyway. Use your DVD player/Blue-Ray player for that!

Why is it a bad idea?  Is it really a dumb thing that I just have a PS3 to play games, DVD's, Blueray, music, photos, and browse the web?  I think the biggest mistake nintendo keeps making comes down to their choice of media storage.  First cartridges killed the N64, small disks limited the Gamecube, and the only reason the Wii was mostly uneffected is it lacked any power what so ever.

This time the Wii U won't have limited data storage, but it won't be able to be sold as a multimedia device.  In many ways 360, and especially PS3 can hold that over the Wii U's head as one way it is no better than the current consoles.

It's a bad idea for customers because it significantly reduces the lifespan of your console and it's a bad idea for Nintendo because they would lose money on it and never see it back and because they will be basically competing with themselves that way.
