This and the post above nail this. Why should Nintendo waste effort on video delivery when they can easily partner with companies whose core business is video? The TVii service makes sense, because Nintendo is in a position as a hardware vendor to offer a way to control all the hardware in the living room, but video is far outside of Nintendo's core competencies and hasn't proven to be much of a competitive advantage in the console race.
Sony burned billions trying to be the definitive video console. That got them massive losses, third place in console sales, and they got to watch while everybody bought $100 BluRay players, Roku boxes or Apple TVs.
"The worst part about these reviews is they are [subjective]--and their scores often depend on how drunk you got the media at a Street Fighter event." — Mona Hamilton, Capcom Senior VP of Marketing
