I like the way Nintendo are doing it with retail involvement, which means there will be more competition. But why in the world would they bind the games to one console? It's like buying a game, but packaged inside an online pass.

Rol just explained it to you. Just like other companies Nintendo wants as much money as possible.

I'll rephrase then. It was stupid when they did it on the Wii and it will be stupid when they do it here.
