no they would have not launched Wii at $199

 

they just can't increase $249 for a game bundling

 

in 2008 Wii was just profiting $10 on Wii's $249 bundle on the Wii hardware,Wii sports cost wasn't even in it

 

JAPAN alot of things come into play as people are gonna buy nintendo anyways also local shipping and inside currency makes it cheap

when Wii was launched nintendo name was in disgrace in WW in console apart from JAPAN so they just couldn't slap a $249 price tag just to include a game

So you're saying they lost money on Wii in Japan per unit?  Or that shipping costs from China to the US (versus Japan) in bulk account for $40 per unit?  ;)

I think you need to recheck whatever "source" you pulled that $10-profit-in-2008 figure from... 

lol its even less
