It was the right move by Nintendo, because they offer something to consumes that is presumed to be "free" or at least they can market it that way.
I doubt many people who have bought PS2's, Xbox's, Gamecubes, Wii's, 360's or PS3's did so without a game bundled with it (unless it was bought at launch), because it's just value. Me for example bought a PS2 with Kingdom Hearts and FFX, Wii with wii sports (duh), 360 with Gears and PS3 with R&C.
Fact that Wii's RRP includes the game is increased value to consumers, because they are getting everything they need to get started.
