Bit rubbish for a console these days? 
Nevermind, kid wants the Wii and already has a player so no biggy.

Not really a bit rubbish I think, who hasn't got something else for playing DVDs these days?
It also saves a few quid on the cost for Nintendo not having to pay a license fee for DVD playback for every Wii.
During development Nintendo were thinking of having a DVD dongle... much like the original XBOX had to have the IR remote dongle to playback DVD, so the license royalty was covered in that cost of that and therefore those who didn't want to use it to watch DVDs didn't have to pay for the privaledge anyway.
