Enquiring minds want to know! FGN has a clip of why Nintendo decided to go with DVD for their next console.

Nintendo Japan head-honcho Yamauchi has quantified the gaming giant's decision to go with DVD compatibility for its next generation console, Dolphin. Speaking at a press conference last week, at which the console was formally announced, he said, "Nintendo had its doubts about CD-ROM from the very beginning. CD-ROMs are very difficult to copy protect, and that is no small concern from a business standpoint. On the contrary, DVD has the potential for copy protection, and we will be implementing a very strong copy protection mechanism in the new console."
