Yes, I believe it is. Excluding bundled (Wii Sports and Tetris) and mobile games (the cheaper Minecraft: Pocket Edition).
Where not bundled only 29.5% of Wii owners bought Wii Sports (3.77 mill out of 12.77 Wii owners). Therefore it's safe to say that the game wouldn't be at 82.43 mill sold without being packed-in with the system in every country but Japan and South Korea. Nintendo themselves knew that the majority of purchasers wouldn't buy Wii Sports if it didn't come with the console.
Without the cheaper Pocket Edition (30 mill sold) Minecraft has "only" sold about 39 mill (19.5 mill on PC/Mac and about the same on PS3, PS4, Vita, 360 and XB1 combined).
