Bundled games count huh? Can we add solitaire and minesweeper to the chart?

I don't think anyone ever bought Windows just to play Solitaire or Minesweeper, or at least normal people.

Wii Sports OTOH was the best selling game in Japan in 2007 and it was not bundled at all.

 

OTOH?

 

 Hes only got one (hand), thats why the Wii is such a big thing for him. .

My main point: Why count bundles at all when they aren't sold? They don't produce any revenue, they introduce fuzzyness to the numbers, and their main purpose is added value - akin to a price cut.

Because if Wii Sports wasn't counted, some other game would be purchased in its place. It's kind of hard to use a Wii without any software. Although I suppose it's possible through VC and WiiWare, but that is highly unlikely.

Really, if you don't want to count it, it isn't that hard to ignore it.
