Are Game Reviewers unable to Review Wii Games?

This is why Wii Play sells high on the charts consistently and these fools say it's all due to the free controller.

No, the controller is the bonus. It sells because of the game.

If this is the case, what is the reason behind Nintendo not selling this alone as a game and bundling it with a Wiimote?

Also, what is the reason behind bundling Wii Sports (US and Europe) with the Wii? If this is true.

Wii Play I agree with, Wii Sports I don't. Please remember that at different times, the following games have been bundled with Nintendo systems:

1) Mario Bros.

2) The Legend of Zelda

3) Super Mario World

4) The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past 

There are probably a couple more, but you get the point. Nintendo doesn't tend to put shovelware in with its systems, and we actually have a great control group for this thinking; Japan. Wii Sports doesn't come with the system in Japan, and it sells extremely well. In fact, it's sold more copies in Japan alone than any PS3 game has sold worldwide.  

But again, I agree with you about Wii Play.
