I read in some previous thread that in April Gamestop bundled Wii with Wii Sports Resort and WM+ with no overprice, but now Nintendo is doing it.

No price cut, at least for the time being, but maybe more significantly yesterday for the first time I heard on the radio the most known celeb Nintendo hires for advertising in Italy announcing the official bundle: for no overprice on the usual list price, "less than" 199.99€, now Wii will be bundled not only with Wii Sports, but also with Wii Sports Resort and Wii Motion Plus. I don't know whether retailers will apply to the new bundle the usual 10-20€ discount they applied before, though. Maybe they'll cash in on it as long as possible...

Anyway, t3h almighty K3vin Butl3r did what Move and Natal alone couldn't! 

But in Wii's favour, despite the small blow to its previous apparent invincibility, this should make it a lot safer from Move's attack. And while some blind fanboy was in denial, I wrote in the past that to counter Move's attack, Nintendo would have been forced to offer 1:1 tracking standard, with no overprice and not as optional anymore.

I guess the most sensible move now would be to start producing WiiMotes with WM+ built-in, to cut costs.

Haha, go Kevin Butler.

Seriously, I think Nintendo wanted to see how well M+ was going to do before making it standard. WSR did better in Europe relative to Japan or the US so they got the black Wii and M+/WSR bundle first. It would be stupid to bundle M+ if it wasn't popular.

I think it's more to do with the ~30M units of M+ that have been sold rather than Kevin Butler.

Nintendo is just pushing motion plus, because they got Zelda and others using it.

This was a move that even a tool like Pachter could see coming.

wow that cool.

That's a great deal
Healthy competition always benefit the consumers

Kevin Butler?

I don't get the Sony fan mass praising of Kevin Butler.. He is just an advertisement for god's sake.. And on top of that, he's really not that funny (ok the GOW3 one is a LITTLE funny).

It's not like Reggie, where he's actually, you know.. a REAL person who actually drive the company.

I prefer Ant & Dec, those guyes are legends, and I think they will be playing SMG before we get it on 11th June.

  He's the most entertaining thing to come out of Sony in a while, He's just some fictional character made up by Sony to make Playstation Move seem like the next innovation in Gaming... you know like the Wii only cool for the hardcore crowd... basically he's Mario only he hasnt been in any games.

Well truth be told the character doesnt just push the Move he pushes a lot of crap that Sony has for the PS3, I personally dont see the big deal, sure he's a damn sight better than Sony's last add campaign and I do think some of the adds are funny, but at the end of the day its still just a series of  adds and a made up character used to shift Sony's shit.

Dude, seriously? You're from Italy right? We've had this bundle (black Wii+Sports+WS Resort+WM Plus) for like a year now in Europe. The official one from Nintendo, not retailer-specific bundles, mind you. You honestly didn't know that, or was Italy an exception and didn't get the bundle until now..? O_o I find the latter hard to believe. Honestly, it's been out for ages, and yes, a lot of retailers do sell it for even less than €199... in fact I saw it just yesterday for just €172.
