Hell why doesnt Nintendo just sell the Wii for $150 with the entire Nintendo library or maybe Nintendo wants to sell software. Week after week Nintendo gives away about 20-25% of the software VGC reports as sold.

Oh, not you with this again. Bundling is an strategy to push users to buy the console. And it's not like every game that has a bundle doesn't sell alone for the matter.

Not talking about a part time bundle. People are suggesting that Nintendo add a 3rd game to the bundle and reduce price by $50.  The further you get in the gen the more people who purchase a console and dont purchase much additional software so bundling 3 games with the console is a console that wont have many titles purchased for.

Wait, they were suggesting a third game? I thought they were talking about replacing WSR like Nintendo's already done in the NSMBW bundle. That would've been ridiculous.

Anyway, at this point in the generation, I don't believe selling software matters all that much to Nintendo though. They've already made a ton of profit off Wii and they just need to try and replicate this next generation and the more people that buy a Wii, the more people will have Bii as their first choice when buying nextgen consoles. Therefore, at this point, I'd say that maintaining a big userbase matters more to Nintendo than selling software. I'm not saying that they should bundle three games with the hardware, but if they need to do it to move the hardware, (I don't think they do, but if they're desperate at some point I guess) they will.
