Uh, I think it's great that this is known before the first Wii comes out, so I don't have to buy another one if I really wanted that improved version.
But still :(.
This also hurts Nintendo pretty badly. People will think, "Why buy a Wii at launch when I can get one with a DVD player sometime next year?" there for, some people won't buy Wii at launch. If enough people think this way, Nintendo is gonna be hurt
a lot when it comes to sales come November 19.
Also, don't get your hopes up just yet. Big N hasn't confirmed it coming to the U.S., Canada or Europe (for the time being).
