Too complicated for most consumers, too much choice makes people irritated sometimes, my guess is they offer a Wii with Mario, one remote and one nunchuck for 250 and maybe a Wii without a game for 200 if anything does happen in october

Complicated? How exactly? If they don't like the bundles they can always go for the standard Wii and then buy the games they want separately. If the customers have more choices, then they are more likely to end up buying one, as opposed to when only having one choice. Plus this bundles will offer better value than a standalone Wii, so it may be good for those willing to spend more money on the first day because it will mean they saved some $$.

But Nintendo will never offer bundles that are better value than other bundles they offer. So I doubt that Mario Kart/NSMBWii bundle will ever happen. The core one seems more reasonable, but so does a Player's Choice catalogue along with multiple colored Wii's and remotes on top of a pricecut.

I'm still appaled by the lack of choices Nintendo gives to their customers when they go into a shop to buy a Wii. DS has plenty of choices of all kinds (Different models, colours, prices, bundles, special editions) Wii has none.

Because people don't want to look at multiple bundles and try and figure out which one they want, they want to be able to pick up one bundle and know that they are getting everything they need, Nintendo knows this which is why it didn't flood the market with tons of SKU's, having one bundle and as an alternative a system without a game is simple, if you want the game you get the bundle, if you want a different game you get the game and the system seperately, that way the choice is simple for the consumer.
