Forums - Website Topics - Who thinks we should remove bundled games from the software game charts?

Well some support for the *

keep the bundles. They're sales figures. If you want to know how many copies of forza were sold, then you have to be able to see that. What's the point of having the "most comprehensive videogame charts in the world" if you're not going to include every game?

Sorry, but if you don't want to see Wii sports and Forza at the top of the charts, just pretend they're not there. it's not too difficult.



Help! I'm stuck in a forum signature!

It really skews UA, and other one Bundled, no one would be buying them, they should have 2 list when compiling list of best sellers and have an asterisk on the chart, it was so annoying last week with the top 3 games being bundled, especially the 360 games, they are worthless... Wii sports will be a great seller on its own(japan) but the other 2, no...



psn- tokila

add me, the more the merrier.

i think bundled games should not be included but ioi can do as he wishes, its his website after all



 

 

DS lover why are you reviving threads from December?

Also this has been settled, bundled games are included, if you want to take them out or the equation yourself it is very easy maths.

Keep the bundles, they are still games sold. The price is just mixed into the price of the product/console itself. Most of the time the bundled game is the reason for the console sale, or at least a primary reason.



I would love to see them removed.

Maybe put a optional filter to remove them like the console only filters, but the remove bundled filter would also need to adjust software totals.



Wow, is this banning massacre caused in this thread? Turbulent subject...

On topic: Removing bundled games from the charts/z is stupid imo. If people buy a game with a console/mote/zapper/whatever they still buy a game.

This debate is going on for about a year now and it seems that since Wii software started to outsell tha mighty 360's software it's been reignited. Sad. I love this site because it offers COMPLETE sales data. If you don't like WiiPlaySportsCrossbowFit sales then ignore those in your head and pretend your console is going to win the "console wars" or don't come here.



Maybe it would make sense to have an FAQ that included a list of all of the bundled games including:

Forza 2

Marvell Ultimate Alliance

Halo 3

Resistence

Motorstorm

Ratchet & Clank

Uncharted

 

Explaining that various games are bundled with various systems at different times, and it would be almost impossible to remove the bundled games.  And what would it accomplish? 

Not including bundled games would be very difficult for these reasons and games like Forza 2 would not be million sellers. When you buy the system, part of what you're paying for is the games that are included with it. So why shouldn't they be counted? You can't go get these games for free (although they are cheap on ebay).

 



no they are alot of bundled games and i think they should be counted
