If you start excluding, or making out as special, certain games for one reason or another, where does it stop? Most of the games in the VGC top 50 would need asterisks.
Wii Sports - Bundled, therefore doesn't count
Wii Fit - People could be buying it for the board, therefore doesn't count
Monster Hunter G - It's a port so it "would have sold higher" if it had been new, therefore doesn't count
Pokemon Platinum - It's 99% the same game as D/P, why is it counted seperate, therefore doesn't count
MKWii - People could be buying for the wheel, therefore doesn't count
Wii Play - People buy for the controller, therefore doesn't count
Killzone 2 - Bundling distorts sales, therefore doesn't count
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon - Only selling because people buy both, therefore doesn't count
Professor Layton - It's just a compilation of puzzles that already exist in print, therefore doesn't count
New Super Mario Bros. - Bundling distorts sales, therefore doesn't count
The Godfather II - Multplat means some people buy both, therefore doesn't count
Halo 3 - People just bought it for the limited edition 360, therefore doesn't count
Mario Tennis - GC Remake with Wii controls tacked on, therefore doesn't count
Dynasty Warriors - Game isn't high enough quality (OP gave this as a reason), therefore doesn't count
So I can do this too. Maybe every word on VGC should have an asterisk with five pages of qualification and "what if"s.

Sorry but these examples are all stupid. The difference between all of these and Wii Sports is that you have a CHOICE if you are going to own these or not. You can buy a Wii or DS and not have to own these.
If you buy a Wii you are getting Wii Sports, like it or not. Wii Sports is therefor just part of the Wii package and not a sale.
|
What about people who actually wanted wii sports? Their obvious sales just shouldn't count?
|
If they want Wii Sports they are fortunate that it is part of the Wii package and they do not have to buy it.
|
So even if you bought the wii only for wii sports your sales don't count? That's just not fair.

I'm pretty sure Wii Sports is the only game this gen that has been bundled with its console since the day its console first released. So, the only way those other games could measure up fairly would also be if they had been bundled with their consoles since day one.
And if New Super Mario Bros. had been bundled with the DS since Day One for the DS, then it would have sold over 100,000,000 copies.
