Some Wii Lameness
Posted by Ahmed as Ranting and Raving at 1:46 PM EST 18/12/2007I like my Wii. I got it on the day it came out - I lucked out and arrived at Kmart roughly an hour early. Two kids (+mom) had camped the night, and with three Wiis for sale - I got quite lucky.
So I’ve been following with certain interest as the hypemeter on the Wii goes through the roof. Reading the Techcrunch post on internet searches for the ‘Wii’ I couldn’t help and marvel at the spam accumulating in the comments trying to hawk Wiis.
While they were the typical bundle, one caught me eye - $400 for Wii + 15 games + 2 controllers. That sounded quite sweet.
Until you actually see what they are offering:
The SOBs are considering Wii Sports (already bundled) as 5 games and Wii Play as 9 different games (and it comes with the controller already).
Sometimes I wonder about karma and if people like this get their just desserts.

Legally, there’s nothing wrong with any of this. Put ethics aside…this is just an example of classic supply and demand.
It’s really Nintendo’s fault that this is happening. Sony/Microsoft have no supply problems. It’s just Nintendo.

No you are missing the point.
They are claiming 15 games. When you hear 15 games, you assume individual games. In reality it is two pack-in games + ONE game.
