I'm alittle late to this thread but I am not dissapointed at all. Nintendo knew a liscensed disc format like Blu-Ray or DVD would cost money. Nintendo also knows that the majority of consumers already have a BluRay or DVD player. So why should Nintendo give consumers a second BluRay player?
To be honest Nintendo makes game machines not movie players. Sure Netflix and the odd app come along to give consumers multimedia experiances. But that is not what Nintendo is about, Nintendo makes software and game machines, another device in my home. My PS3 plays BluRay's others have BluRay players this would be another device regardless.
I am happy Nintendo is sticking to software. I'll continue to keep my games and movie players seperate. Nintendo keeps costs as low as possible and I'm sure they put alot of thought into this. Remember GameCube in Japan had a DVD player (Some models) and look did that go over too well? Nintendo should stick to gaming what their best at and leave film to the film companies!
