They did it with the EHD, so I don't see why not. Also these EDD can be quite small, they could have even made a 1st party one and made it something you could easily cling onto the main mini-console. These aren't the Sega CD days no more, these kind of components can be very small. |
External hard drives aren't manufactured by Nintendo, though. In order for your plan to work, Nintendo would have to manufacture (or license another company) to manufacture a proprietary disc drive, because Wii and Wii U games are not standard DVD's, they are are proprietary optical discs. That would be asking consumers to purchase a completely seperate accessory in order to access the console's most basic function: Games.
Bear in mind there is still a large portion of game consoles not connected to the internet, so the only way for those people to play games under your plan would be to buy the Wii U, plus a disc drive, and those game discs.
