Trade publication Variety reports that a film executive has revealed that the Wii could be equipped to stream movies as early as this year. So, will it be a good move for Wii to follow suit of the Xbox 360 and PS3 and get into the whole digital movie scene?
Nitendo's Wii may follow Microsoft's Xbox and Sony PS3 into the film market.
On Thursday, entertainment trade publication, Variety, reported that an executive from film studio Lionsgate said that Wii could be equipped to stream movies as early as this year.
"The thing that is clearly a force in digital are the game devices," Curt Marvis, president of digital media for Lionsgate, told Variety. "I think when we see the Wii come into the market with the ability to stream movies, which I think is maybe going to happen as soon as this year, I think that's going to be a big marketplace for digital distribution."
