Forums - Sales - The Wii Sports massacre continues...

Last week Wii Sports overtook Nintendogs to become the 9th best selling game of all time. Over the coming weeks it has Super Mario Land & Super Mario Bros 3 in its sights and is also set to pass Super Mario World early in the spring.

Yea, but it's a pack-in. No need to get excited about seeing it climb the list.



Wow, a game sold with a console, I'm amazed (I do know that it is still selling well in Japan)



Even in the realm of pack-in games Wii Sports stands on whole new level. It is absolutely shattering records no matter how you look at or how much you discount it or relegate it to sub-sections of the record books.



To Each Man, Responsibility

Well, it's only packed-in in one region. In Japan it's selling extremely well on its own.



My End of 2008 Hardware Predictions (console only):

Wii : 50 million

360: 28 million

PS3: 24 million

These predictions were made on January 3rd and won't be revised

@ cringer, it's only not packed in one region



Did europe just vanish infront of me?



I cannot for the life of me understand why anyone would get excited over the sales of a bundled-game. It makes no sense at all.

It's still the fastest selling game of all time.

I think Wii Sports is selling the Wii rather than the reverse, so it's also the most successful $250 game ever.



Ubuntu. Linux for human beings.

If you are interested in trying Ubuntu or Linux in general, PM me and I will answer your questions and help you install it if you wish.

I know, being a pack in game pretty much guarantees that it will end up in the top 50 slots, that's why Forza MotorSport 2 is up in that list too.

Oh, wait, it's not?

Did Playstation 2 have any packins? Maybe those games made the list. Hrmm... wait, I don't see any PS2 games until 13, oh and everything above 25th is either Gran Turismo or Grand Theft Auto.

Was Halo 2 a pack in for the Xbox? Cause that managed to hit slot 36 so far.



Seppukuties is like LBP Lite, on crack. Play it already!

Currently wrapped up in: Half Life, Portal, and User Created Source Mods
Games I want: (Wii)Mario Kart, Okami, Bully, Conduit,  No More Heroes 2 (GC) Eternal Darkness, Killer7, (PS2) Ico, God of War1&2, Legacy of Kain: SR2&Defiance


My Prediction: Wii will be achieve 48% market share by the end of 2008, and will achieve 50% by the end of june of 09. Prediction Failed.
