If you notice, Nintendo aren't really using the Nintendo name much with Wii, sure it's there, but its not in your face. They want everyone to play games and attract new gamers whilst trying not to say 'HEY THIS IS A GAME MACHINE!' So that people don't get scared off.
The inclusion of the Internet browser is for the purpose of making people sit around the TV as a family and using the Internet, it's also a lot faster to connect to the internet and will probably be mad easy like it was getting your DS online with the WiFi.
I don't see how that not including the DVD compatability makes this any less of a next generation system, when EVERYONE has a DVD player of some kind and with it's inclusion, no doubt would have added to the over-all price of the system.
Nintendo have said something along the lines of Wii isn't next generation, this is the new generation. They are trying to better the industry and that's with the controller. Controllers have always been updated and ultimately bettered with every 'Next Generation' but the attention was always on the graphics, this time the Graphics have been bettered but the attention is on the controller.
