I just found an article about DVD royalties:

It seems that the royalty for a DVD player is a minimum of 3 dollars. That's at least $84 million that Nintendo has already saved by not putting DVD on the Wii, enough to make a lot of games.

 

 

I much rather have that 84$ million to be a 30$ budget for a game and the 54$ remaining to go to the shareholders than to get a DVD player for my Wii. I already have 3 computers with DVD drive, a PS2 and a DVD player. I'm sure most people have a DVD player already anyway.
