You realize that the 3 extra Wiimotes alone are worth $120, right? That seems like an awfully cheap bundle. Additionally, many people would be satisfied with 2 Wiimotes.
Perhaps it would be nice if you could get bundles that included a game other than Wii Sports, or perhaps 'naked' Wiis without games for cheaper, but Wii Sports is a great pack-in for most people and costs Nintendo almost nothing to include. At the moment, it would be a bigger deal having more than one type of package to maintain shelf space when they can't even keep the system on shelves in any form.
Nintendo still has shelf space for its gamecube games. What's more, there are many first party Nintendo gamecube games that still cost $30 or more. I believe Mario Kart Double Dash (2003?) is still $30, as is Super Smash Brothers: Melee, and Zelda: TP is surely still $50. I agree -- the only way the Wii will be playing Gamecube games is with a disc.
