i heard the wii console needed a new lense that could only be installed by nintendo…this problem has been kept a secret till now…i think that the old lens and software needed to read the disk needed to be changed….they probably didnt expect this problem till complaints came in. for example,the start of 2010 showed no consoles available at any store in U.S. it was thought that production was stopped to change lense and software in over 20000 console made for 2010……..specialized cleaning equipment my butt !!!!!!!!!! i rest my case[for now !!!!] p.s.- I dont expect them to admit it,but i have a feeling we are not getting the truth…

I am sure Nintendo should have a local vendor who should be able to support small and simple issues like this at least for a one year warranty time rather than asking the user to send the machine to Nintendo itself..?

I didn't have this problem when i first got my wii, and the handful of launch titles i bought ran just fine. But when i got brawl, not only did it have the problem, but i started getting it with Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam and Guitar Hero 3.

good analyzation!

yes same thing happened to me the verry first time I played wii sport i had a disk error.. but after 3 days when i played it. It just run again without any problem… your analyzation is somehow true. they may have some hardware issues with it.

enjoy wiiiiii!!

While I haven’t picked up a copy of Brawl yet, I had disc read errors the very first night I had my Wii. Even the standard copy of Wii Sports, I had to pull the disc out twice and blow into the slot. I kinda look at it as a throwback to the old nintendo ways of getting a game to start.

Hey, nice thinking that this could be a Wii problem rather than a dirt problem.. Yes, it is true that Nintendo, or rather any other company, let it be Microsoft or Sony, will not ask the user to send back the machine just for cleaning the drive..
