The BBC has explained its decision to put iPlayer on Wii instead of PS3 or 360, calling the move "ironic" and saying the announcement makes a "mockery" of Microsoft and Sony's multimedia aspirations.
"How ironic that it is the Nintendo Wii, and not the Playstation 3 nor Xbox 360, that becomes the first of the current generation of consoles to have a truly dynamic range of online video content," said BBC journo Darren Waters on his blog.
"The BBC's announcement of a deal with Nintendo to put the iPlayer's streaming service on the console makes something of a mockery claims by Sony and Microsoft that their consoles are the true multimedia machines."
The BBC announced yesterday that its iPlayer software - and the BBC programming that goes with it - is now available in early form on Wii.
