It's hard to say how many copies Wii Sports would have sold if not bundled. The game is obviously a big reason why casuals latched onto the Wii in such large numbers initially (killer app etc etc). |
We actually have some data, not good data, but we can have an idea about how well Wii Sports would have sold if it wasn't bundled. In Japan it wasn't bundled and still sold around 4 million. A third of the owners of the Wii there bought it as a standalone game. So the data we have hints ithat it wasn't bundled it would have sold for around a third to a fourth of the install base. Around 25~30 million.
Edit:Actually my guess was pretty good. Wii Sports Resorts sold 32 million, a third of Wii install base too.
