Actually, Nintendo does throw in components that it doesn't use. Take the first NES for example. On the bottom, there was a port on the bottom of the console that was always called the mystery expansion. As it turns out there are plenty of rumors that had to do with: a modem expansion in 1991 having to do with the lottery, hard-disk expansion, and some kind of multi-player gig. Who knows? Maybe Nintendo would decide to actually use this in later games or applications.

...Also the Super NES had an unused expansion port on the bottom that was supposedly for a CD-ROM that was being developed by Sony (which led to the PSX).

Yes, I came across this on wikipedia a while back. It's astounding.
