Generally I would disagree as many bundled games are not particulalry wanted by the buyer, but are often instead a way of shops offloading excess stock or seeming to be selling the console with the attraction of a "free" game. In the case of Wii Sports, however, that point cannot be made. Many people were sold on the Wii precisely because of that game, and even managed to be a multi million seller in the region where it wasn't bundled. If you look at how the likes of MK and Wii Fit are still selling like brand new releases, there's no reason to suppose that Wii Sports wouldn't have been a monster even if it hadn't been bundled. A marketing stroke of genius from Nintendo that they did bundle it, however, at a time when releasing consoles with a packaged game seemed to have become a thing of the past.
