The Wii didn’t officially support dvd playback (and didn’t support hardware video decoding of typical dvd codecs, so few dvds worked with the homebrew software to enable it)
This is true, but I did see an interesting video of a very early model which showed a DVD icon in the home menu. Perhaps it was planned, but scrapped. Missed opportunity, in my opinion.
So, maybe that is it. The PS2 was the all-in-one entertainment centre of a bygone era. I don’t think Nintendo is interested in the whole TV thing after what happened with the Wii U. The PS2 just might be king forever.
