Wii could get video streaming service next year

Nintendo is planning to give the Wii an online video streaming service soon, according to a regional publication. With the service already lined up to launch in Japan by November, an expansion that includes North America and South Korea could begin sometime next year.

The service could help it compete with the PlayStation Network and the Xbox Live Marketplace, but like Nintendo’s games, expect to see more kid-friendly content. It falls short on native high-end multimedia playback though, but word is out that Nintendo is planning to release an HD-capable Wii in 2011.

    It is really good that nintendo is joining the online market as well. But the main concern here is that if nintendo sticks to kid-friendly games, they will be losing a fight here. Both the Playstation and Xbox are producing high quality games for both kids, teens, yuppies and adults. Although the online service of nintendo will help the company but I wouldn't be too sure if there will be any change in their performance since most of the games for the nintendo wii will be for kids.
