Didn't read the article but from what I see in the OP is Nintendo saying that the reason is due to the disc used?


I remember Wii not having playback for DVD also but that was just due to Nintendo being cheap because a quick soft mod enabled DVD playback on mine and I am sure the same will enable at least DVD playback on the Wii U.

If the system serves as a game machine, it is a nice, but unessential feature to have.  If the feature had no costs, I am sure Nintendo would look to add it.  However, there are costs to make it play DVDs and Blu-Ray and Nintendo decided not to do this.
