I don't either. Comparing sales should be an apples to apples thing imo.

It should though, as the bundles aren't free. A sale is a sale. I mean we dont do it when we compare Titanfall to other games and that was heavily bundled. So we shouldnt compare MK8 to anything either in that sense :)

Knack was forced to be boughten for japan (first week or 2), but that still counts. Though that game heavily benefited from bundling as Wii Sports Did. MKWii does not. Even if Half of the sales were bundles, thats 17.5mil, then you have to ask yourself out of the other 17.5mil, how many would of bought mkwii anyway if it weren't bundled? I mean they did buy the bundle most likely for mkWii right?

Actually, weren't Wii sports and SMB both bundled for free with the consoles? Wii Sports especially was force-bundled. You couldn't buy a Wii without getting Wii Sports in most places. It's not exactly a fair comparison in my opinion.

50 million+ by the time this stops selling?

Is GTA5 still at full price?, If it is, the game would become the greatest achievement of all time, selling at full price without mass bundling.

It will pass Super Mario Bros soon. I guess if you count Wii Sports it won't be the best selling game ever but honestly I don't count a game that's bundled with every console for so long and SMB was bundled with a lot but I'll still allow it for argument's sake

comparing a game that is on one console with another that is multiplat... is it fair...?it s not!

mmmmmkay whatever floats your boat. A little bundling of GTA5 isn't exactly on the same level as HEAVY bundling of MK and Wii Sports. That's like comparing Angry Birds since they were both effectively free for awhile. I mean I guess you could ignore all this stuff but oh well like I said however you choose to see it.

And then you should also count the sales coming from other platforms After all a sale is a sale, no matter what platform it's on
