RE: Wii Play

is bundled with "Hardware"
Therefore its booted from discussion.

No one can clearly say if it would sell the same if it did not have the remote, but most would lean toward "no"

Wii Fit is bundled with hardware, and so is MKWii. Should we eliminate both those?

 

Oyv, there's a major difference between Wii Play and Wii Fit/MK.

In Wii Play, you spend $40 for a $30 piece of hardware (the controller) and a $10 game. Huge skewing in terms of what your buying.

For Wii Fit, your paying $99.99 for a $50 game, and a $50 board.

For MkWii, your paying $49.99 for a $40 game, and a $10 addon.

For Wii Fit/MK, your primarily spending your cash on the actual software itself. With Wii Play, your spending the money on the hardware, and getting a near-free game with it.

It's like arguing Wii Sports sales validity in the West - your buying a $230 system that comes with a $20 game. Are you buying the Wii, and being forced to purchase the game, or not? It's a similar skewed ratio with Wii Play, because your buying the device, and getting a game free, or near free.

 



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
