When the Wii's 'final' specifications were out last month, I wonder how many people noticed that it lacked a DVD Player. Now, since the Xbox 360 and PS3 had a built in multimedia player, Nintendo doesn't want to stay behind in the race, so they've hired Sonic to hook them up with a DVD playing software by late 2007, that will help them deliver the 'Ultimate Movie Viewing to the New-Generation Gaming Console' (according to Sonic's website).
