Well, too many choices is the problem now. How can Wii Sports Resort have any impact on system sales when you already feel like you're paying for Wii Sports with the Wii, and then there's various ways to get the second remote and second Motion +? How many people will buy nothing when they have the choice of two ambiguously different versions of Wii Fit on the shelf for at least a few weeks.
Obviously if they had ALL the above configurations, it would be ridiculous. But each of them would be the complete experience in one box.
Anyways, I want to see other people's ideas for crazy bundles. The Action Set for $149 was crazy. The DK64 bundle for $99 was crazy. They were huge value for their price compared to previous options. $249 Wii with NSMBW and one remote and nunchuk is way too "safe" and doesn't address the problem of not getting the "complete experience in the box." With the craziness of the peripheral options today, Nintendo needs the "complete experience in the box" much more than they did in 2006 and 2007, hence the $299 WSR bundle.

"The way to solve this problem lies in how to communicate what kind of games [they CAN play]."
