Nintendo wants to focus on manufacturing the current model for now.
During a stockholders meeting held on the 27th, the long talked about DVD-enabled Wii was discussed. Nintendo’s company president, Satoru Iwata, stated that they need to concentrate on producing as many of the current model as possible before thinking about a second iteration.
The possibility of a DVD-movie playing Wii was first mentioned before the console first launched, but Nintendo later decided against the idea. The company stated back in September 2006 that the Wii would not have DVD functionality in order to keep costs down and because most people already own DVD players.
Other news from the stockholders meeting concerned the DS TV receiver. Also known as the OneSeg Tuner, the device was previously only available online but will go to retail this July hoping to meet a wider audience.
Importers beware, the OneSeg signal is specific to Japanese mobile devices such as mobile phones, and therefore will not operate in the US/Europe.
