Its ironic, but I think their biggest mistake was selling the Wii $50 too cheap at launch.
Its great to setup "sentiment" - but 10m at $50 has cost them $500m to date (might have only worked in the US though).

I don't think the bundle should change, or include anything else.
They keep the price at $250 - at least for all of this year.
Lots of games/peripherals to purchase.
They could bring out an "enhanced Wii" (maybe more internal storage, more stuff preloaded? - the 2.0 motherboard design) - then price that at $279, and drop the normal Wii to $229.
Another obvious change - just include a 500WiiPoints card with each Wii. Not only is it a easy selling point/package change - it encourages people to jump online.
