What about Minesweeper?

 

Now don't start. That's a stupid comparison and you know it. How many people have been at best buy, saw mine sweeper and said "Damn, I gotta get one of these PCs"?

People will complain, hem and haw, but wii sports has been on the Oscars, The nightly news, sitcoms, commercials, magazines, it's in bars, night clubs, theme parks, all the hell over the place. Fanboys even argue that people only buy wii for wiisports and then never play their wii again, but when it comes time to give credit to wii sports it's just a demo and people aren't buying their wii's for that crap. People see wii sports and are blown away by it, and must have it, then go out and buy a wii. I won't defend wiiplay because that is a controller with a game, but wii sports is the reason for the wii's success and it deserves every bit of credit that it gets.

You make a good point but for me, Wii Sports will always have an asterix next to its name.

WiiSports*

 

 

 

 

 

*Bundeled with system

 

ok lets asterisk all the game in the past  2 years that have been put into manufactorers bundles

Lego Indiana Jones*

Sega Super Stars Tennis*

Devil May Cry 4*

Gran Tourismo Prologue*

and yes WiiSports*

wow when you look at it, nintendo bundles less games than the rest of you all.

 

Yep, that is the way I see it. Take for instance Kung-Fu Panda.  Although it is a nice game, especially coming from a movie, there is no way the sales would be where they are at without being bundled. 

Now what about the games that come with an Ipod? There are something like 150 million Ipods out there and a good portion of those are of the classis variety that include some sort of game for free.  Should these games be considered?

I'm not trying to take anything away from Nintendo or WiiSports because even if your subtract the "Offical" bundeled games, Nintendo is still on top.  The way I see it is that in order for a game to be the #1 SOLD Videogame of All time it has to be SOLD in the first place.

I am more than happy to accept WiiSports as the #1 Bundled Videogame of All Time because it does deserve that distinction.
