bundling would give 3rd parties confidence in Nintendo's support for core games.
But Nintendo doesn't really care about that. They sell the majority of software for the wii anyways, and would rather sell even more, with less competition from outside sources.

 

 Nothing stopping them from bundling both Wii Sports and TC in the same box.

The bottom line will stop it. It costs money to bundle. Bundling is generally a tactic to help 3rd parties sell their software and make up for delivering a high budget console selling game.

Nintendo will never agree to this, because neither of those things make sense for nintendo.

 

 

 If a time ever came where Wii sales started slowing, and if they didn't feel like reducing the price, it's not inconceivable that they would bundle another game in addition to Wii Sports.  However, it would likely be something like Mario Galaxy, Mario Kart, or Brawl.  That said, even if they took a hit (not really a 'hit', but 'less profit'), a Conduit bundle would drastically increase their standings with third parties.

I still don't think it's going to happen, though.

I 100% agree.

It is just unlucky for the Conduit that it is being released soon. There will be more of a chance that such a thing happens later on, but for this one I am going to be extremely pessimistic.
