Why is Wii Sports still so high? It's not bundled anymore..

my guess would be that stores still have a lot of wii sports bundles they need to sell, so they also received the price cut

That's probably only half the story.  The other half is that Wii Sports is part of the 'Nintendo Selects' range.  While, a lot of people would surely go for the superior WS:R, I'm pretty sure the budget price would attract some people, especially new Wii owners who recognise the game's name.

Surely most people who have a Wii in EMEAA already have it though? So the sales are still a bit strange. I mean, WarioWare or Animal Crossing didn't go up much :/

My bet is on old inventory. Target was still selling Wii consoles without WSR 6 months after the WSR bundle released in the US. It will be a while before WS falls off the charts.

At least for my country I can confirm, every previous bundle is currently discounted by at least a further 10€ from their previous prices, most already discounted since after Xmas.
