Thats bullshit, Wii Sports could have been sold seperatly and with the amount of PR / advertising and MASSIVE cultural movement and interest in the remote itself the game easily would get to 20 mill. even 25 mill.
Can anyone possibly imagine buying their Wii and not buying Wii Sports? And dont lie either, everyone would have bought it.
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
