Yeah in my area you can't even get a Wii on its own, it's either Wii mini with Mario Kart Wii bundled or if you can find deadstock of the older Wii models, those probably come with Wii Sports.

Exactly! if it weren't for those bundles Wii Sports and MKWii probably wouldn't even appear in those charts!

Mario Kart Wii reached the 35 million units. The only question left is: Will Wii Sports reach 83 million copies sold?

You know it deserves the GOTY.

GTA San Andreas for the PS2 is selling enough in Italy for it to be tracked by GFK.

Wii in 2014 sold just about 500k.

Mario Kart sold 766K.

Wii Sports sold 567K.

So, even if every Wii sold came bundled with one of those two games, they still sold about 800K between the two of them. About 400K a piece for two games that are nearly a decade is old is pretty impressive.

Come on, everyone know each Wii bundle comes with two copies of Mario Kart.

Just go to GOG.com. while digital, some of the games are from the 80' and most are from the 90'

As for the reason why they keep selling, it's probably in large parts from Wii U owners who didn't have a Wii before for various reason, as they outsell the Wii by far these days. Probably one of the reasons why Nintendo is bringing Wii games digitally to the Wii U now, too

Yet another proof Nintendo abandoned the Wii a way too soon.

That is really amazing, this makes me wonder if software for the 360 will last this long in the US,especially Minecraft.
