For the million times, Wii Sports shouldn't be counted with software as its bundled with the Wii "ever" since the release of the Wii. A lot of charts don't even count Wii Sports with it.

 

While the bundled argument has some merit (after all, Nintendo is essentually imposing the Wii Sports tax to every non-japenese customer), if I recall the Wii in Japan is 50$ cheaper, so effectively every bundled Wii Sports sale is a sale in its strictest term. AKA they aren't giving it away for free or extremely discounted which is what happens to most bundled games.

While before the Wii system was a bit cheaper than it was in the US (using the previous exchange rates), although no Wii sports game was included...

Now however it is just the opposite since the value of the US dollar vs. the JP yen has plummetted. I think when I bought my Wii the exchange rate was about ~115 yen per 1 dollar. So I basically bought my Wii and Wii Sports separately for pretty much the same price as it is in the US(at the time, over a year and a half ago). Now the exchange rate is ~93 yen per 1 dollar, so you would be paying more for the Wii system itself and not get any game with it at the moment.

 

Oh I see, it was just a factor of the exchange rates.
