I think the biggest thing he is saying is that for the cost you are getting more for $299 then you are for $249. Wii sports is a HUGE factor in sells of the Wii however, so I think he is speaking from a "value" perspective.
.....I agree with some of his logic, but the BR player to me is the only real draw, HD space is pointless if you don't DL demos, videos, and ALOT of games. Also, like SD cards; It's for the traditional gamer, not the mainstream.
Like bardicverse said I'd like to see Nintendo do a lil' bit more for the Wii, like add an SD Card in for the tradtional gamer, maybe add a Wiiware game or two for the mainstream, just to let people know of the service. Time for Nintendo to put that excellence marketing staff to work...
The Interweb is about overreaction, this is what makes it great!
...Imagine how boring the interweb would be if everyone thought logically?
