Nintendo did it help sell Wii to the mainstream, to help them really grasp the ideology behind the new interface, but the added value of pack-in was probably the reason for the price coming in at the ceiling of what Nintendo originally promised ($199-$250). And I maintain Wii Sports is a tech demo that Nintendo fleshed out (barely) and used as an excuse to raise the system's price by $50 in order to jip people on 10 year old technology. It's NXE, it's backwards compatibility, it's a bigger HDD, it's Blue-ray, it's wifi, it's Wii Sports. In the end, it doesn't matter if you think it's a glorified tech demo (which honestly, is a read I wouldn't disagree with), Wii Sports is literally what sold Wii to a good portion of it's audience. read more
