Usually bundles are used later in a console's lifespan to increase sales or when there is a slump. There's no reason why nintendo should have a bundle for the wii this year, it's very unlikely they will be able to manufacture enough consoles to meet christmas demand WW. We've already seen the DS, GBA, GC, and N64 had bundles.

I think a Conduit-themed Wii would be pretty neat and would be a nice way of waving something under the "hardcore" nose.

Not that Nintendo needs to, it'd just be cool.

I think it'd be doing about as well as it is now, except they would have made less money.  The Wii outside of Japan is more expensive, and the price is justified due to Wii Sports bundled in.  If you mean selling Wiis at $250 without Wii Sports, I can see the problem.  Of course, it's possible Wii Sports was forced onto the consumer to spark previously uninterested family members' interest, but it's hard to tell how much of an impact that would make.

Don't forget the PS3/Spider-man 3 Blu-ray player bundle. That's something the Wii or 360 can never do. Well maybe the 360 can do a 360/DVD movie bundle. No, that would be retarted.

What? Nintendo always made a profit from the N64 and GCN so why would they go the way of Sega and go software exclusive? Their consoles always made them bucketloads of cash.

Oh I thought this topic was about money.. you know Sony does was Nintendon't wich is lose money.

 Can I be a bitch please?? I want to earn the same kind of cash Nintendo does.

Though not officially, many 3rd party wii titles have been bundled with the wii here.

Includes:
Resident Evil 4
RE: UC (with zapper)
No More Heroes
Madden

Incidently, here's another thing sony does that nintendon't, they make expensive consoles that cause massive losses that require a "ten year plan" to return a profit.

 Aww come on! Sony is this generation's loser.

They're losing heavily - perhaps more than Microsoft will in the end.

They've lost their domination.

They've managed to break into the handheld market, but not to sell games. They're probably losing money on it.

And in reality, Nintendo was more succesful than Sony in 6th generation too, as they made a lot more money. Still, Sony had more sales, so a tie that goes perhaps slightly in Nintendo's favour there.

The last, and only generation, Sony was really thourougly the winner, was the 5th generation.

By making a profit even on underperformers, of course. N64 and GameCube, while not market dominators, still earned them more than they spent on them. Perhaps not a gigaton more as the Wii is doing, but it still allowed them to go well over break even. Sega tried to play hardball, taking losses on hardware in hopes of making it up on software sales when they couldn't afford to. That's why Sega failed: not because their hardware sold too few units, but because they required too many games sold to break even. Nintendo has avoided taking that risk ever since the Famicom almost sunk them during its launch year due to a defect.
