I reiterate, you are rearranging goalposts. If you were not, you would not be trying to exclude anything from the list. Even if you limit your list to consoles, you cannot discount games simply because of pack-in or minigame collection status.

And as for pack-ins counting or not, let's take a logical look at the process. A product with a packed-in complimentary product where the packed-in part enhances the experience of the original product will sell better than the product alone. This is why brief pack-ins of popular titles cause a brief surge of console sales when they happen for consoles like the PS3 and 360. However, notice how sales of consoles drop back to normal (as do sales of the game packed in) once the initial wave of purchasers for the game subsides. For sustained high sales of a product with a pack-in, there has to be value inherent in the pack-in. The short of this is, were Wii Sports not selling systems, the Wii's sales would have dropped off significantly once the appeal of Wii Sports wore out.
