Yeah, it's working out like gangbusters for the PSP. Software sales are exploding for that platform, especially in Europe.

Who says PSP software sales in Europe are horrible?

 



whats funny for online stores the norm way anymore to get a wii is in bundles, buy the wii and three games ....here take a look


http://www.walmart.com/browse/Hardware/_/N-3xkbZ1z0drfo?catNavId=413800&fromPageCatId=413800&ic=48_0&path=0%3A2636&ref=125866.183467+500524.4293740580

i count six bundles from this site alone



 

Stores love to bundle Wiis with games. Mostly because the maximum price Nintendo allows them to charge for a standalone Wii is so close to what they have to pay Nintendo that they basically make no profit for themselves on the sale of the system. Stores get a much better cut from software sales, however.



Sky Render - Sanity is for the weak.

Wii Sports is a perfect bundle. No need to change that.
The Ds doesn't need any bundles, although some 3rd party games are indeed bundled.

And 3rd parties will not follow reputation, they will follow profit. I doubt that a game like MGS4 will ever become proftable. altough it was bundled.

This website, for starters:

Others PSP hardware LTD: 13,819,478

Others PSP software LTD: 4,251,508

 

Sure, the tracking is probably somewhat incomplete, but even if that software number is actually triple what VGC thinks it is, it's pathetic.

actually Nintendo should pack Wiis with first party games.... at full price =) like that the games sell more :p

Wasn't it Wallmarkt that was selling Wii bundles earlier this year? (i dun live in the US so I just recall from posts).

Nintendo might use bundles like PS3 does, but they do not have to yet, Wii is selling amazingly without it. Before serious price cuts, Wii will be coloured and it will have some bundles like the MGS4. But Nintendo does not need to push that hard yet.

But i do think that Conduit one would be quite good , since the game has the potential to be the defining Wii shooter.

Don't forget the PS3/Spider-man 3 Blu-ray player bundle. That's something the Wii or 360 can never do. Well maybe the 360 can do a 360/DVD movie bundle. No, that would be retarted.

Is it still considered third party if it's a Sony film that's used in the bundle?

 

errr wasn't there a 360 custom designed for the movie 300? (but like 300 of them only :p)

actually a conduit one could be a way of making sure that people who want to buy the wii for the conduit have Wiis available to them.... like people who bought Wii fit before the Wii...
