Opera on Nintendo Wii

Apparently I've been living in a cave somewhere, because I just found out today that there's a version of Opera for Nintendo's Wii. This begs the question, why isn't there a version of IE for my beloved Xbox 360?

I'm sure the answer centers on anti-trust issues or maybe cannibalizing WebTV or some other such nonsense. And, of course, the Xbox is a closed platform with expensive licensing restrictions, so I'm not expecting a version of Opera or Firefox for the 360. That leaves me waiting for a mod chip that will allow me to run unsigned software and an underground hack of Mozilla before I'll be surfing the Web from my living room. Blast it!
