This is a bit of an iffy question.

From a business standpoint, having the classic control be a viable option would not have helped the system early on or even in the long run. As games like Smash Bros prove, when given a choice between a controller and Wii-mote, most would choose the controller because they know how it works.

On the same hand, there are games that wouldn't have worked as well with a classic controller.

Now as for the rest, I don't own a classic controller, any game that uses it or something like it, I use the Cube controller for so I don't need the hassle of finding a wii-mote or something. So won't comment on that.

So I guess in short, Wii-mote as standard= good. Not having classic controller as a viable option= good from a business point of view.
