It's been always like that. It's just it includes Wii Sports (to my knowledge.)

Which it probably should... because adding it is better then not adding it... and everyone has their bundles.

It's not perfect however.

it does include Wii Sports, and it should be included as it is a game people play. Just like the game that anyone bought with their PS3 or X360. However, it is a forced 1st party purchase, which from a 3rd party standpoint doesn't help out. However, tie ration doesn't really matter in the end, as a 60m userbase witha tie ratio of 5 will buy way more games than a 30m userbase with a tie ration of 6.

Now i disagree here slightly tie ratio sorta does matter.

 

A 60 million userbase of 5 will buy way more games in volume....

then a 30 million userbase of 6 will.


However... it does matter somewhat to people who make.... well not the best games.

Not bad gmes persay... but not say... Mario Kart Wii...


For example say both systems have a Wii sports.

Of the 300 million games purchased by the 60 Million base... 60 million are wii soirts.

While of the 180 million games purchased by the 30 million base... only 15 million are Wii sports.

 

Having a slightly higher tie ratio means that the mediocre to pretty good games have a better chance of sale on the poorer systems... if the top system has a LOT of really good games.
