Based on VGC (which I assume gets its Japan figures from MC/Famitsu) it sold 3.77m in Japan. Which while good means about 70% of Japanese Wii buyers didn't want it. If the same had been true in the west (and they weren't forced to have it regardless of whether they wanted it (yes, I'm still bitter about being forced to have a game I didn't want!)) then the amount it would have actually sold would be nowhere near the likes of GTAV. |
Yeah sure... 30-50M possible total sales for WiiSports without bundles... but comparing to 80+M is silly. We can count them the Tetris sold worlwide on several pirated versions that count upward 100M or facebook games and say they outsold GTA V but we know it is a bad comparison just to win a point.
