Wii with DVD coming out in North America next year

After a brief segment about the Nintendo Wii in “Morning Call”, CNBC announced that Sonic Systems will have an upgraded Wii in the second half of next year with a DVD player. Previously the upgraded Wii was only confirmed for Japan, but it isn’t too surprising that an upgraded Wii will come out in North America too. It is unknown if the Wii-DVD will cost more or be sold at the same price point $249.99 price point on Sunday. Either way since most gamers already have a DVD player is a DVD enabled Wii really worth waiting for?
