Well, N'gai isn't bad and the host isn't bad most of the time. The Kotaku guy is really stupid but errr it's Kotaku... "I am starting to think Wii sells with peripherals"

 

He backed up his arguments well and presented a case. Did carnival games sell 2 million copies because its a great game? Until you back up your side of the argument you really don't have a right to say anything.

 

Carnival Games doesn't come with a peripheral.

I could be wrong, but part of the explaination as to why the Wii is successful is that it is the first true social gaming system; games which are considered "low quality" that sell well tend to do so because they're accessable to everyone and are very enjoyable to play in a social setting.

Yeah, I'm trying to figure out what Carnival Games has to do with anything, too.

You want backup that peripherals aren't the main driver of Wii sales? There are 25 million-selling Wii titles. Only 6 of them ship with hardware, and one of those comes bundled with the console itself and another with a wii remote.

A single game selling unusually well when it is sold with a peripherals that everyone needs is quite a bit different than the system is sold primarily because of the peripherals. Hell, does Guitar Hero 2, Guitar Hero 3 and Rock Band justify someone saying that the XBox 360 sells because of peripherals?

Well, lately I've seen it coming with a Carnival Game t-shirt.

There are 4 first-party games with a peripheral. There is Link Crossbow Training, Wii Play, Mario Kart Wii and Wii Fit. Of those games, 2 are peripheral with a game added as a bonus (however we count them as software sales for some reason). Mario Kart Wii has the Wii wheel and even if I don't think it sells because of the wheel, I'll count it as a peripheraL game. Finally, you have Wii Fit the is all about the peripheral. So, there 2 games that sell because of the peripheral. So, out of 12 first-party million sellers, you have 2 of them that sells with a peripheral.
