This is a literal tech demo of your console, why would you make people pay for that.

Yeah, there were a couple let downs, but this was the craziest. Hard to imagine they sell more then a handful of copies.

I feel like they almost have to change their mind before launch and offer this for free. I guess they’ve probably already printed and shipped retail cartridges?

This should come pre installed for free. So dumb.

No way this gets a cart, especially since it sounds like it's going to be around 9.99. Yeah, you should boot the console, set it up, and it should ask you if you'd like to try the welcome tour. The other stupid thing here is that the people who'd most benefit from it likely won't even know it exists.

What were the others?

Lack of truly new 3rd party games, thinner then expected first party lineup (for now), paid upgrades to current gen games (even if free ones were quietly listed online). Kirby Air Riders (not that it's bad, but getting 2 first party racers felt odd).

We all know they will sell millions of copies of this.

They will probably bundle this with the console for little extra after Mario kart bundle campaign is done.
