Seems like most supply issue is with the Premium package.

Anyway why Nintendo created the normal package???

That is the question no one knows the answer to lol. Even die hard NIntendo fans struggle with this concept.

It's not a hard question to answer... Nintendo was obviously terrified that $350 US would be too expensive for a large part of the market, so they scrambled to cut the price down to $300 by any means necessary and offer it as a separate package.

I think this is true. I also think the $300 bundle will make a rebound. Right now, you have some pretty dedicated video game enthusiasts picking the superior SKU. But as word of mouth spreads and the Wii U becomes more popular, I imagine the $300 bundle will get some traction.
