"It hasnt SOLD a single copy"
Unbundled in Japan - 46% attach ratio  didnt know that... fair play.

"Wii play is questionable as it was a freebie with the extra controller"
Freebie? Cost me £10.  1) i bought this for my daughter... could have sworn it was included for nothing

"everyone got it for free"
Price of Wii Sports IS factored into Wii bundle  2) nonsense.

"not a single copy of Wii sports for sale"
I'll sell you my copy for £180  nonsense

 

 

1) A controller by itself is $10 less than a controller with wiiplay. Therefore, wiiplay is $10 and people are *chosing* to purchase it.

2) You'd be stupid to think Wii Sports isn't factored into the cost. It's a standard business practice. If you want proof, note that the Wii costs the same in Japan (where Wii Sports isn't bundled) as all the previous Nintendo consoles, yet it costs more in the US (addional cost of about the price of a single game) than the previous consoles.
