• 25 million units sold have sold from retailers, equalling $300 million in consumer spending

 

Not bad.

But since a Wii bundled with Wii Sports costs at least $30 more than a Wii without (a Japanese Wii cost about $220 USD at launch), Wii Sports can claim over $1.2 billion dollars in consumer spending at retail. At that's not even counting all the hardware it helped to sell. You can claim that some of those people didn't want to buy Wii Sports, but they paid for it whether they wanted it or not.

Take that, dead horse!

Edit: I just noticed that they've conveniently combined all versions of Bejewelled together for these numbers... nice.
