| pizzahut451 said: I dont know about you, but here at my place ( and every other place i went in Western Europe ) Mario Kart Wii is bundled with Wheel controller, Wii play is bundled with extra wii mote and i wouldnt really call Wii Fit a game. Also MW2 had a LIMITED bundle |
Well Heavy Rain's producer says it's not a game either. You can take solace in the fact that you're both dead wrong.
Bundles implies hardware. Mario Kart, Wii Play and Wii Fit don't come with a Wii (yet anyway).
Wii Wheel is just a shell case, it's technically not even hardware. And if you're really trying to imply that Mario Kart Wii's selling because of the Wii Wheel bundle, then Excitebots pretty much makes that notion embarrassingly null and void. Ditto for Wii Sports Resort and Motion Plus, I don;t see Virtua tennis 2009, Tiger Woods 10, NHL 2K10, etc beyond 10 million... in both cases it's the games selling the bundled add-ons, not vice versa. In fact you can make a strong argument that Wii Sports sells the Wii itself to casuals.
Wii Fit I think is impossible to divorce from the Balance Board. It's more like Guitar Hero or Rock Band in that sense, the extension *is* the game really.
Wii Play's a different case though, yeah. It'd probably still do pretty well on it's own sales wise, but nowhere near what it has as pack in with a Wiimote. Although on it's own, it'd probably have been like $20 too.
