Don't you ever get tired of being ignorant?

EDIT:  I shouldn't have said that.  What I should have said is:  Don't you ever get tired of being an elitist snob?

I cannot believe people are still arguing over this. There is alot of BS flying aorund before people read ALL posts.

Just get over it people, when the Wii launched what did they advertising in their commercials? Wii Sports. ALOT of people got hooked by that and still are.
The wii is a family/party/casual console. Just because a few hardcore gamers don't agree those 80%+ casuals who own a wii do love the game simple.


Like I said before, should we disregard all the PS3's sold which were bundled with a HDTV? Same deal, I know alot of people chose the Sony Bravia over a Samsung at the time because it come with a FREE PS3. So in that instance the PS3 sold the Bravia, just like Wii Sports sells the Wii to majority of the people.

Really doesn't matter at this point. 

If you won't count Wii Sports because of the bundling thing, then the next best selling game is likely to end up being Mario Kart Wii at this rate. 

Either way, Nintendo wins. 

The doubters here are classic.

By the time the Wii stops selling - i.e. in 4-6 years time, if not longer - the big titles will so own all the records - there just won't be anything to argue about.

MK has been out for LESS than 1 year (not even 40 weeks!) - and its done 13m.

WiiFit - 11.3m (about 1 year). WiiPlay - 17m in 2 years.

If WiiSports wasn't bundled, it would be in the 25m-30m vicinity. But then if Super Mario wasn't bundled either, the top sales post would be a lot lower. And lets not forget we all PAY for WiiSports, by buying the Wii for $50 more than its sold in Japan (unbundled).

...

The one key stat about WiiSports which is completely unbeatable: we have had our Wii now for THREE Xmas's. I have NEVER owned a game that gets regularly played TWO YEARS after it was released - never. And by multiple people, including myself. Every single one of my "traditional" games is gathering dust once finished - with it lucky to be pulled out a couple of times a year to show it to others.

Just wait till M+ gets released.

 QFT

If you accept SMB as the previous best seller then you have to accept Wii Sports as the new best seller. Both were sold under the same conditions.

I agree with some parts of that. I believe the truly wise don't share knowledge that often. Wise people listen to what others have to say and keep their conclusions to themselves. Sharing your conclusions with others may (and most likely will) lead to a debate that 99% of the time you can't win. Let people be wrong if they're too stubborn to take a little criticism.

If it weren't for the bundle, I would be either very worried or very sad. A game like this surely doesn't deserve to be the best-selling game of all time. By the way, how come Wii Sports has sold less than Wii itself despite being bundled with it? Is it not bundled with every Wii?

I also wonder how much Wii Sports would have sold were it not bundled... It would probably be one of Wii's best-selling games anyway but I doubt it would be this high. And yes, I know Mario was bundled as well - I'm just focusing on Wii Sports instead of comparison between the two.

Wii Sports is really good, im looking forward to Wii Sports Resort as well

Wii sports is not bundled in Japan but the game have an attach rate of 45%...

It would likely have the same attach rate in the rest of the world as it has in Japan in wich mean the game would soon a 20+ million seller.
