After this logic we could also do a comparison with Minesweeper or Solitaire because they are games too.
Like Ka-Pi mentioned, these games may be owned by that many people, but they didn't sell that many copies. That's the reason why I think that Wii Sport makes no sense in this comparison. 

Unlike Solitaire and Minesweeper, Wii Sports is actually a game that you can own, lend and buy/sell. It qualifies just the same as GTA V. Its success was defined by the massive bundling it had, but those are sales nonetheless.

It doesn't matter if the game is digital or retail, bundled means bundled.
And there is a huge difference between the bundles of GTA V and Wii Sports.
IIRC Wii Sports was bundled with every Wii for years. If people bought a Wii, they would automatically get Wii Sports too despite the fact that they may never touch the game in the future. In the case of the GTA V bundle, there was variety and the GTA V bundle was only an alternative from all the PS4 bundles. For instance you could get a standard PS4 for $399 or a PS4 with GTA V for $430. Therefore only people who were interested in GTA V got the GTA bundle because they saved money with it ($430 GTA V bundle is cheaper than buying $399 PS4 and $70 GTA V together). And people who didn't want to get GTA V with their PS4 had the alternative to buy the standard PS4 or an other bundle. This wasn't the case witth the Wii and Wii Sports.
