Well, by reading your post, the only reason I could think of is that Nintendo has been sending Wii's and Mario Karts to the UK instead of US lol.

Exactly, and my post is asking why. It seems crazy to ship Mario Kart to the UK in order to give it away free when it could be sold at full price in the US.

You said the retailers are packing it in free.   That means Nintendo already made their money on it because the retailer "bought" it from Nintendo to start with.   If it were Nintendo themselves packing the game with the console, then it would be a financial goof on Nintendo's part.
