Some people would buy wii without a game, the people who mod it.

Wii is bundled with 2 games now. Let's assume that a person who is not interested in those games buys a wii, he has to get those games and the game(s) what made him buy the wii. That inflates the SW sales a lot. On 360 there is no forced bundles, you can get 360 without any games or with the game you actually want.

You can still buy a Wii with just Wii Sports if you want it, and most outlets have dropped the price for the "legacy" units for $149.   WSR didn't even get bundled until the year was half over anyway, most of Wii's sales this year were with 1 game, not 2.

I'd also argue a good portion of Wii owners were interested in Wii Sports anyway, and it was exactly why they bought the system.  It was really the killer app for most casuals, though it probably hasn't been the driving force this year it once was.

You can argue as much as you want. The fact is that there are many people who don't want ws/wsr and buy wii for other games like mario and stuff.
