When you look at Wii, sure Wii Sports was in the box, but the first reason to buy the console was Zelda: Twilight Princess Wii Sports, then Mario Galaxy, Super Smash Bros., Wii Fit, and Mario Kart Wii, and while these other games were responsible for Wii sales Wii Sports was just riding helping along in the box and being given sales numbers it probably hadn't earned deserved.

Now that post I just fix'd above is more correct.

 

      Do you seriously believe that if you could walk into an old police phone booth and take a trip back to November 2006 that if you were to stand outside a gamestore and ask people that were going in the store to purchase a Wii that more of them would list Wii Sports as the reason they were purchasing the system than The Legend of Zelda:  Twilight Princess? 

Eh? I actually didn't purchase any games when I bought my Wii last year. I played Wii Sports 2 weeks straight with my family and then purchased Super Mario Galaxy after.

Your missing the whole concept that Wii Sports wasn't just a stupid-dumb game, it was a game that helped first time buyers understand the Wii controls and the concept helped many. Even to this day new Wii owners are still buying this game because its an awesome introductory game to the Wii.

How many times do I have to say "Wii Sports is an introductory game to the Wii" for you to get a understanding of the reason for Wii Sports?

 

       It might be an introductory game for the Wii, but it also sounds like Super Mario Galaxy also had something to do with your purchase of a Wii.
