I remember Nintendo reported an X amount of millions sellers while vgchartz had X+20 millions for nintendo causing quite some discussions...So yeah like kitler53 said;   ./thread


I'm sure it wasn't anywhere near that scenario and I'd bet if you look at it, you'll see that Nintendo was focused on 1st party and non-packed in or something. i think VGC is fairly accurate on software to not be off by such a substantial difference.

You're a bit wrong.

Nintendo games sell well because not many third party games for their consoles. On the other hand XBOX 360 and PS3 have nearly the same amount of first party games in the top 100 of each console.

TOP 100 WII:    31 first-party games

TOP 100 X360: 21 first-party games

TOP 100 PS3:   20 first-party games

Why? Bundles sale systems. Even so, ok take away Wii Sports and its not that much different. Its not like all companies pretty much always have some kind of bundle available.

"What's your opinion on why these worked out like this?"

Bundles. That's my answer.

So you think the only reason Nintendo has so many more higher sales per games is due to bundling? That's obvious for Wii Sports, but no so obvious for MKWii or Wii Fit, etc.

No not all of course -.-

But there's more than just Wii Sports. I'm not so sure Wii Sports Resort, Wii Play and New Super Mario Bros. Wii would have reach the 20 million mark without bundles.

Mario Kart Wii and Wii Fit are the most impressive on that list.

 

Edit: Nevermind about NSMBWii. It reached 20 million before bundles.
