Oh, man, when has a system coming bundled with a game ever not been a bad thing?
I mean, it marked the end of the PS2, Xbox, PS3, 360, DS, PSP, Vita, 3DS, the Wii...
Except they didnt bundle in a game only 6 weeks after launch
You're right again, of course. They bundled games 10 weeks after launch, which is a bit better:

Then again, that was an official bundle. Let me see if I can find one just like this - a bundle created by a retailer. Oh, wait - here's one:

And that came on launch day, too...
I'm also going to throw out how quickly the price dropped and on the official PS3 - 7 months, at the time unprecedented (today, the only successful system to have a faster price drop is the 3DS) - for a $100 price drop and a bundled game.
Let's see how the Wii U does in comparison.
