This isn't surprising, considering that their consoles have never been standard-media friendly. They've also consistently been a generation behind in storage capacity, though that was only really a problem with the Nintendo 64 since it opted out of the optical storage revolution and single-handedly took Nintendo from being the undisputed champion of the video game world to being an also-ran surviving solely on it's own first party franchises (which were and are extremely popular).
Nintendo's always been paranoid about piracy. That's one reason why they chose to keep cartridges in the Nintendo 64, killing their massive third-party support, and that's why they opted for funky proprietary optical solutions in the Gamecube and Wii.
