If it wasn't bundled, you could argue, quite easy IMHO, that the Wii would have sold a lot less.

Same as most of you have said.

If Wii sports stays as a pack in with the Wii then yes it will become the top selling game ever. If it does not, then it will reach the top 5 and that is probably it.

What's a better indicator is if you sort it by Japan's numbers. Every week if jumps up a few places.

I think you've got it wrog there. A lot of people dont get to play it because they buy a wii they buy a wii to play wii sports.
Is it worth 1st place in the list? Well as Edge said 'its the greatest game you'll ever play, for about 2 hours'. The trhing is in the blue ocean that 2 hours is all the heaving masses ever needs, they dont need or want the depth that we all expect. My wife is still playing wii tennis every day (and god do I hate it)

I think that without the bundle, it'd be reasonable to liken the sales to that of Wii Play, which are a little under half of Wii Sports right now.

True. Although in Japan, where Wii Sports isn't bundled, Wii Sports has sold more than Wii Play. Wii Sports 2.69 m Wii Play 2.17 m
