It is a total waste of space to include video players , in a gaming console , when streaming video is cheaper and can be far more lucrative for the provider. They are waiting to release the full potential of this ( Wii) bad boy , and will probably put the final nail in the competition's coffin , when the time is right. I see it happening around Nov. , just in time for Santa to get busy loading up the elves with work orders and overtime.</p> I think Nintendo has beat the bunch to the punch once again .

Even if we could access online video easily on a flat super size TV screen, it wouldn’t be satisfying for our family because we all have different interests and only rarely agree on watching the same show.

And as we watch TV online, my son is checking out Facebook, sending instant messages and text messaging. I’m checking my RSS feeds and will interrupt a video stream to blog.

Simply watching TV passively, no matter where it comes from (network or online) is no longer enough, we need to multitask. And we don’t want to be confined to a Joost or Babelgum platform either. We simply adjust the size of our video screen to open our own applications.

Could that be the future?

The Xbox and playstation already do this with HD and Blue ray playback and DivX compatiblity as well as Xbox Live streaming video .

The Wii might be the dark horse here and I can see why Nintendo didnt bother to put DVD playback in the console when they can Just stream Video to it .

In Japan the Wii has a Video Channel already and a TV guide .

Regie Fils Amie aluded to this sort of convergence at the Dow Jones Technology Innovations conferece in November where he said “There are other Channel oportunities .They may look like games they may not look like games”
