Forums - Website Topics - Wii Sports WAY undertracked

US and NA Wii sales are 1:1 with Wii Sports, regardless of any type of bundle purchased. Only Japan has no game included. So, looking at the picture below....

Wii sales in NA = 137,733

Wii Sales in All (less Japan) = 130,272

A + B = 268,005

Wii Sports sales = 247,605 ?

Given that this week Wii Sports sold 2,865 units in Japan, shouldn't it actually be 270,870 world wide?

Not to mention, if I use this weekly chart, I have no clue how you came to the 247,605 number in the first place as my summation of that last week on that chart equals 223,121. If anything, this just shows you have innaccuracies in how your DB and/our queries are formed.

Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

i say if your going to qq against vgcharts do it for something that matters..

wii sports is ridiculious its over 60 mil who the hell cares about 10's of thousands of undertracked sales.



Wii Sports sales to Wii sales are not 1:1 in Others, because of South Korea, which is included in others, doesn't have Wii Sports bundled with Wii consoles.

Wii Sports isn't selling 1:1 in Asian regions such as Hong Kong, Korea and Taiwan - that is where the discrepancy lies.

Ahh, forgot about Hong Kong, they get their shipments directly from Japan, most likely.

Thanks for the clarification.
