Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Will Wii Sports become the best selling game ever before 2009?

^well, it still counts as the best selling game ever (will be)



Around the Network

 i do agree it probably will get up there, you have to admit, the numbers ARE skewed since the majority come free with the system, not all, but a majority.

But like i said, i see it happening if they keep it packed in and (Essentially) free.



@wiiforever


Yeah, but who cares? Any console can pack a game in with EU/US and after 3 years claim it to be the best selling game. The main thing is, 3rd parties don't care about that, the media don't care about that, no one outside the hardcore for the console in question cares about that. If Wii Sports was selling this well outside of being bundled than the media would be all over it but as it is, no one cares.

When this gen is over people are going to talk about Mario Galaxy, Brawl, GTAIV etc... sales, no one will give a damn about Wii Sports because it was packed in whether it's highest selling or not.

Actually, you've gotten it backwards. No one in the mainstream cares about Mario Galaxy or Brawl, and GTA is only notable due to controversy. Wii Sports is the game that people talk about.

 Given that it sells nearly 3mil in Japan, one region alone where it's not bundle, I do see a reason for others to care...
