So all top 15 were heavily bundled with the Wii? Didn't think so...
I bet the Wii U would sell more than 15M LTD by the end of 2015. He bet it would sell less. I lost.

A very long time.
I can't exactly see another game topping Wii Sports anytime soon.

A lot of games are bundled. GTA V was bundled for the PS3 if I remember correctly. If you don't include bundles it's a complete guessing game.
Can't wait for The Zelder Scrolls 3: Breath of The Wild Hunt!
Not sure how to feel about Wii Sports... it's technically the greatest "killer App" in history, just ahead of Tetris and Super Mario Bros.
It's a pretty underwhelming game but I remember having fun with it, sooo.... Yeah, donno how to feel about it.

PS3 and PS4.
To be fair, even for Nintendo will be difficult to break their own numbers.

heavily and limited bundle isn't the same thing, otherwise, GTA 5 will be even higher. Wii sports was bundle practically the whole generation except Japan I believe. IMO Mario kart Wii and Wii sport resort have more impressive numbers than Wii sports because they weren't heavily bundled.
That will never change. Nothing will beat Wii Sports or Mario Kart Wii on an individual platform. Perhaps GTA VII could reach 30m on the PS4 but I don't think so.

OT: Android games and iOS games already sold better. "real" games whise i doubt anything will break this leadership soon. |
According to who? According to R* it's all one game. In their financials they just say X amount of GTA sold this quarter, they might break down platform %, but you can only have a % break down if you count all the sales combined as a single total. If R* was in this conversation they would say, actually we're #2 with GTAV, you gonna argue with them?
It is truly impressive what Nintendo is able to achieve in software sales when their hardware sells well. Just look at Wii, doesn't come close to PS2 level of sales yet, aside from Wii Sports autobundling it had games that sold 15 million more than the highest PS2 game. But this thread is a misdirected attempt to blow Nintendo's trumpet. The thread title could more accurately be called "Nintendo: best platform for selling its own games".
