You'd be surprised.  There was a big videogame reasearch paper back in the late days of the PS2 that showed a lot of people bought the PS2 specifically for movie tie in games and that they were the biggest factor for a shockingly large percentage of sales.   Essentiallly if you counted "movie tie ins" as one game it'd be the biggest system seller.

Unfortunitly I can't find the artice due to how crappy search engines have beome and derivvitive bullshit like "10 worst movie videogames" articles existing about a dozen times per website.

well thats interesting, but i wonder how accurate that article was?

 

also, not sure about movie tie-in sales back then, but now days they seem pretty low to call to say that they effect a large portion of systems sold.
