Good work.  I'd like to see an alternative list that strips out all titles that had any bundling (or enough bundling to count for more than 1% of their sales) just to clearly see the list of bought purely for themselves and not as a pack in freebie.

But good work nonetheless.

That would clean the list of almost everything I should think -- all successful games have some kind of bundle.

Plenty have minimal bundling - i.e. the bulk of sales were clearly not bundles, like CoD, GTA, etc.  Wii Sports is hugely bundled, Indy Lego is, etc.  Maybe say 5% vs 1% but there aren't that many bundles of note actually.

That would still be kinda unfair though. NSMBW makes it to nearly 20m (and would have probably topped 30m) without bundles, but then Nintendo makes a bundle which sells a couple million and makes it vanish from the list completely. I mean, it would've outsold practically everything anyway, but it gets kicked out of the list because of that.

That wouldn't improve the list much either, to be honest, since a lot of games that would've made it to the list without bundles are completely excluded.
