WiiU doesn't have BD playback because they are too cheap to pay the royalty fees, not because it's a gaming device. Same thing happened with the Wii and DVD. My Wii had no issue playing DVDs once I modded it.

Nowadays people want multifunctional devices, not just a device that does games and games alone. I want my next console to stream movies, stream music, play games and more. Just like my PS3 does now.

You might not think it's important, but a whole lot of us do.

Netflix, Hulu+, and Amazon are already offered. I suppose you want more.

No, that's not what he meant. Reread jake_the_fake1's post and you'll understand what Euphoria means.

e.g. Jake was saying that Nintendo refused BD, DVD because they only focus on games. Maybe for DVD it was possible, but that was reactionary to the PS (Yamauchi was a bitter man). In fact, Nintendo had the Playstation vision before the Sony Playstation even came out. But when BD came along, it was more a matter of saving on pennies than being orthodox about games.
