The big thing is that if the Wii was selling like the Gamecube, then no one would even bother to defend Wii Sports or Wii Fit or Wii Play as being decent games in any way let alone trying to say they are among the best games ever made like some Nintendo fans try to go completely overboard and do.
There are four main reasons why the Wii has sold as well as it has.
One would be the fact that it was by far the cheapest of the next gen consoles when released.
Another would be the heightened demand for the Wii that existed because of shortages and limited availability for the console during Christmas '06, much of '07, Christmas '07, much of '08, and whose effect seems to have been wearing off a bit more recently.
Third they did manage to get most of their core games out in a timely fashion. Zelda as a launch title, Metroid Prime and Mario Galaxy by its first year anniversary. Super Smash Brothers Brawl, Mario Kart Wii, and Wii Fit that have been carrying it over the last year.
And lastly, the law of cycles which says that everything cool twenty years ago will eventually find a way to be cool again. Since, the NES was cool twenty years ago and Nintendo had gone through a bit of a slump the last two gens, they did catch a benefit from the law of cycles. It was just time for Nintendo to do well again.
Wii Sports had very little to do with any of these four things.

You have the most confusing version of 'logic' that i have ever encountered. I mean the fact that the Wii isn't selling like the Gamecube is BECAUSE OF WII SPORTS! Give the game the credit it deserves, it's not like everyone doesn't already know the game is packed in.
Also you didn't answer my previous post, are we asterisking PS3 sales due to the fact that it was packed in with Bravia TV's in Australia?

Sure, but how many of the PS3's sales did you say that accounted for less than 100,000 of its 20 + million?
