The only reason the Wii sold more software than Wii U is because of 'Wii Play'. That was bundled with a wiimote for $10 more than a wiimote on it's own. So most people who bought a second controller for the Wii bought it with Wii Play. Without Wii Play the Wii U would have sold so much more than the Wii.

I don't think Wii Play was released together with Wii... Didn't it come a year or two afterwards?

Edit: Nope, I was wrong!!  2006 it says

Wii Play came out in North America in February 2007.  It was never bundled with the Wii console, just as a seperate package that included a Wii Remote for $50.

Oh I didn't know that. Wii play came out launch day for the rest of the world so I just assumed it was released the same in North America. Only reason I bought it launch day was for the bundled wiimote. Such a cheap game, they shouldn't have made it.
