If it weren't for the bundle, I would be either very worried or very sad. A game like this surely doesn't deserve to be the best-selling game of all time. By the way, how come Wii Sports has sold less than Wii itself despite being bundled with it? Is it not bundled with every Wii?

I also wonder how much Wii Sports would have sold were it not bundled... It would probably be one of Wii's best-selling games anyway but I doubt it would be this high. And yes, I know Mario was bundled as well - I'm just focusing on Wii Sports instead of comparison between the two.

Wii sports is not bundled in Japan but the game have an attach rate of 45%...

 

It would likely have the same attach rate in the rest of the world as it has in Japan in wich mean the game would soon a 20+ million seller.

 

 

 

you could argue that the wii would not have sold as much as it had if it wasn't bundled with wii sports even at a $200 price point.  The fact that the game is bundled is the reason why many people buy the wii, they know when they buy the wii wii sports will come with it.

You could also easily argue that without wii sports the wii woudnt' be #1 this gen.
