Forums - Nintendo - first wii bundle?

i was in karstadt today (shop in germany) and noticed they dont sell any wii`s for 249€ anymore only for 300€ with wiisports, my Sims and EA playground is this the first wii bundle?



N64 is the ONLY console of the fifth generation!

bet with *no one yet* that the combined first week of Monster Hunter 3 in america and europe will be 600k or more! winner changes looser sig and avatar for two months!

Around the Network

It's almost impossible to get a Wii in the UK without it being bundled with piss poor games!



Didn't Nintendo come down on retailers for forcing in-store bundles?



wow. HORRIBLE bundle. lol

What's next? the "Wii sport, Chicken Shoot and NinjaBreadman" Bundle?



Soriku (Feb 10/08): In 5 years the PS3/360 will be dead.

KH3 bet: "If KH3 comes to Wii exclusive, I will take a 1 month of sig/avatar by otheres open a thread apologize and praise you guys' brilliance." http://vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?start=50&id=18379

Episode 1: OOPSY!
selnor
: Too Human I even expect 3-4 mill entire life and 500,000 first day. GoW2 ( expect 7 - 9 million entire life and over 2 mill first day), Fable 2 (expect 5-6 million entire life and 1.5 mill fist day) BK3 (expect 4 - 5 mill sales entire life and 1 mill first day).. Tales/IU/TLR should get to 2 or 3 million! post id: 868878
Episode 2:
Letsdance: FFXIII (PS3+360) first week in NA = 286K
According to pre-order rate in week 13 (post id: 2902544)

This will disappoint a lot of buyers. They may consider their Wii a bad investment after playing those games.

horrible. especially forcing wiisports onto people. the other games are ok. Karstadt should be ashamed.

it's not a Nintendo-sponsored bundle

retailers have been doing this online in US since launch

u have 6-700 bundles with multiple games (usually crappy) and a memory card and a few other stuff in there



Bets:Missed by 420k I bet leo-j vg$500 that wii will sell 31 million by 7/31/08.  Sorry, I don't think he has enough vg$ to make it with all of u that wish you could. Hit, with room to spare I bet kingofwale a 1-week ban that wii Americas ltd sales>360 Americas ltd sales as of the numbers for week ending 7/05/08 (using vgchartz homepage #s)

Predictions:

Wii will sell 18-20mil by 12/31/07  CHECKWii will sell 45mil+ WW by 12/31/08Wii will surpass PS2 sales WW by 11/17/11 (5yr anniversary)Wii Fit will hit 12mil sales in 2009MKWii+SSBB+Wii Fit+SMG > 50 mil sales by 2010 > gta4+mgs+gt5+ff13+haze+lbp

i think the difference is that in Germany the wii is quite readily available - or at least was. so it wouldnt be a bundle to "force" things on the consumer, as he would just go to another retailer.

so i guess some people see value in that bundle.

Like Fastrabbit09 said, retails have been doing this since launch. I got my Wii at the Costco launch (a couple weeks after the regular launch) and of course the system was bundled by Costco (all systems Costso sells are bundles).

So far, the worst I've seen is a Wii + Pink PSP bundle (I think it was in USA). Talk about stock riddance.
