So you say, and like MS that limit might work... for now. But, eventually enough people will want to go past it that Nintendo will have to remove that limit. That also doesn't cover various CD based games. There's only so much one can compress that stuff, and some of it will likely be of the "lossy" variety. How lossy? Well, hopefully not as much as RE2 on the N64.
Besides, you still can't play those games off a card anyway, another failing. Annoying data management commences. Oh, another failing they need to fix. There's already more games than available "channel slots" in the Wii interface. First off, that interface needs to be reworked to allow "folders". I don't care if old people find folders "confusing" or whatever PR is telling Nintendo right now, I'd think putting all games in folders makes things a lot cleaner, plus they can increase the limit. Namely, try to make it as big as the maximum number of files their file system can recognize. Just don't show "empty" windows of that stuff. It's simple. Expand with more windows as more channels appear that actually need said windows.
What I'm saying is this. I know what's better for Nintendo's interface than they do. They have given me no reason to think otherwise.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
