Seriously. The Wii sells almost 300k consoles on a sales base of 16 million, and if you take out Wii Sports and Wii Play (which we all know no one buys for the game), the Wii moves only 1.3 million software units combined? And look at the top 50 for Wii sales. Pathetic.

Why would someone choose to pay $10 more for a controller given they are never going to play the game? Wouldn't you just buy a stand alone wii-mote instead? They buy it because it's a cheap casual game library, not because they're never going to play it.

 

 

Furthermore, information gleaned from the Nintendo channel suggests that Wii Play is one of the most-played games on the Wii. As is Wii Sports, obviously. Since people pay for both games and play both games heavily, it really doesn't make any sense to pretend they aren't important.
