Anyone saying desperation from M$ I dont think understands casual gamers. Arcade pack is cheaper than wii in Europe. If M$ do a bunch of Sports title like Wii sports, some pure puzzle games and the like they may draw in some casual gamers. I think it shows smartness on M$ part. They could let Rare take on the sort of First/secondy party support from it.

If it makes an extra 20-30 thousand sales a week, it's a good move.

That's so untrue. The Wii doesn't sell because of Wii Sports, it sells for a lot of reason but one is that it is considered cool to own a Wii and not geeky like the other consoles.

 ? I know like 5 famalies that have wii's and the only games they have are usually wii sports, wii fit, Rayman raving rabbids and any other party games. I tell them to get Mario Galaxy and stuff but there answer is "Well the girlfriend dont really play those games, she likes bowling." 

 

As always... Anyway, all the consoles have the similar problems with being bought for "1 game". If your point was to prove, that M$ doesn't really lose anything, you may be right. But as you pointed out yourself, despite Wii being bought to those families "for one game", the families have still bought other games. Now, M$ lacks the games that use the new controller, which means that before there are any, there's no point getting it, when Wii has hundreds of games that use the Wii Remote. It also isn't very appealing for the developers, since the adressable market for the peripheral is 0 at its launch, while adressable market for Wii Remote currently is around 25 million. Biggest benefit for M$ i can see from this, would be ports from Wii games and of course, XBLA titles that can be made cheap.
