so... wiisports is worth $50US? I don't think so, it is a tech demo that was developed to show off the strengths of the wiimote. It might be great fun and replayable, but that doesn't mean that it is worth that much. Nintendo was going to launch the system at 250 regardless of the pack in.. this was just a cheap way for them justify the price to american gamers who would have to choose between this and the xbox 360 which was more comparable in price. This wasn't an issue in Japan because the 360 isn't really a legitimate option so they forwent the pack in.
wiisports is basically the debug program that nintendo made to test the controllers... just like when microsoft made the bug splating game for xbox live/GFW (which was never released) the game was designed to test cross platform gaming (360 -> PC). It was a good social game, but lacked depth... Every developer creates some sort of "wrapper" function that will allow testing, I do it at work all the time. Nintendo just gave it to the public.
