The pack in excuse is used against Nintendo ASWELL as Sony and Microsoft. It's not an exclusive excuse only used against Nintendo. 

 

Have you ever looked at an Uncharted 3 thread on the topic of sales? It is physically impossible to get through one without people talking about it being bundled. People talked about how Uncharted 1 was bundled with the 80gb ps3, lbp being bundled, Motorstorm 1 being bundled, Gran Turismo being bundled, Forza being bundled etc.

 

In Wii Sports case, i don't know why you even claim that it is an excuse. Everybody on planet earth knows that Wii Sports was pretty much bundled with every console. The Wii had PLENTY of Nintendo games tgat sold BEAUTIFULLY so who in their right mind would get bothered by the fact that Wii Sports was bundled?

 

The Wii Mote is what sold the Wii. Wii Sports barely helped anything. Wii Sports could've released on GC with the GC controller and wouldn't have sold anything remotely close to Wii Sports with the Wii Mote

 

And what you said to refute the pack-in excuse,was less solid than the bundle argument itself

I never said it was exclusive to Nintendo, I just said I was familiar with it (being a Nintendo fan).

I'll bet a million bucks that, if we were to go back in time, the Wii would have sold close to N64 levels had it not been for Wii Sports.

That's my point.

You would lose that bet EPICALLY!

 

I can't believe you even said this

 

Do you know what Wii Sports revolved around? The Wii Mote and it's motion controls.

 

If you take the motion controls away from Wii Sports, it would be just a VASTLY below average ass baseball/tennis/Boxing that you can play BETTER anywhere else.

 

Why didn't MS and Sony make a Wii Sports game after looking at Wii Sports? Why did they wait until they each had a MOTION CONTROLLED device to make their Wii Sports like games? That's right, you said it! It's because it would be recognised as a VASTLY below average game where you can play better everywhere else.

 

All Wii Sports did was show what the Wii Mote could do.

 

So if Wii Sports were to release on a Nintendo console WITHOUT a Wii Mote, it would only expose the game being that all of the magic that was experienced with Wii Sports was REALLY the Wii Mote and the whole motion controls

 

So Wii Sports wouldn't be sh!t without the Wii Mote
