The other difference is that Nintendo bundles games people actually want and buy the system for, while Microsoft and Sony often tend to bundle shit that doesn't really move much on it's own anymore (if it ever did).

People buy a Wii for Wii Sports and NSMB.   No one ever bought a 360 for Kung Fu Panda...

Kung Fu Panda was bunded for one Holiday season along with LEGO Indy (I think). Correct me if I'm wrong.

This Holiday they had the Kinect bundles and Forza/Alan Wake.

This Holiday Nintendo had Wii Sports, Wii Sports Resort, Wii Fit Plus, NSMB Wii and Mario Kart Wii.

Right now, Nintendo are bundling Wii Sports, Wii Sports Resort and Wii Fit Plus with the system in the UK at least. That's a lot of SW given away with the console. Although it isn't in the third of all Wii SW that I said before. It's just over a third of Nintendo's own SW.

There is still such a Wii bundle in the UK after the holidays? I certainly don't see it in Amazon UK (and they usually repeat any great deal they see elsewhere).

Here's the Amazon deal for the WIi - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/feature.html/ref=amb_link_157814307_5?ie=UTF8&docId=1000157953&pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=12ZJ4B3A7YV0G5FZMRTV&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=224125227&pf_rd_i=506846.

On the other hand, by your definition, look at the "crappy" PS3 bundle offer - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/feature.html/ref=amb_link_157814307_1?ie=UTF8&docId=1000437983&pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=12ZJ4B3A7YV0G5FZMRTV&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=224125227&pf_rd_i=506846 . Who in the world would want GT5 bundled with their new PS3, and add to that AC:Brotherhood or the new NFS? (I am joking of course. This is a great bundle, a great example of what I meant in my post).

Also, some people make it in this thread as though the Wii always had such bundles, which is not true - all it had most of its lifetime was Wii Sports.
