Are we disregarding mandatory bundling now? Wii Sports and Wii Play say hello!

Obviously, Knack sold really well because it's such an amazing game, it was almost as great a launch title to the PS4 as Lair was to the PS3 in its day.

PS: I hope your sarcasm detector works; if not, then just read this.

I got you.  

Though for Japan, Wii Sports wasn't bundled and still sold nearly 4 million.  On a seriouus note, it does make me wonder about the history of bundled titles in Japan.  The ones in the US, and usually Europe, are well documented and known, but what about Japan?

Not sure if Japanese trackers have full control over bundles; I'm also fairly confident that vgchartz doesn't. Hard to track unless one knows exactly how many copies are bundled in general hardware shipments.

Does NPD track bundles properly?

Another challenge today is proper tracking of digital sales, you would think that they would be better at that by now, seeing as how big it has become.
