That is pretty awesome. Super Mario Bros put NES's into everyone's homes and changed the face of videogames. And it's only fitting that Wiisports yet another Nintendo effort put's wii's into everybody's homes and again changes the face of videogames.

This.

agree!

Who here really bought a Wii for Wii sports?

::raises hand::

The best Wii game at launch,

the most important game of this generation,

one of the best party games of all time,

and I can play it with girls.

Really? I could imagine that the girls aren't exactly lining up to play with you...

no solitaire still no. 1



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

"It hasnt SOLD a single copy"
Unbundled in Japan - 46% attach ratio

"Wii play is questionable as it was a freebie with the extra controller"
Freebie? Cost me £10.

"everyone got it for free"
Price of Wii Sports IS factored into Wii bundle

"not a single copy of Wii sports for sale"
I'll sell you my copy for £180



Nov 2016 - NES outsells PS1 (JP)

Don't Play Stationary 4 ever. Switch!

Have you played RRR games with those girls??, I don't know what it is but seeing several 20+ year old girls shaking that wii mote up and down at the same time makes me love my Wii even more.

 

I am  guy after all

That's cool I hope next gen sony bundles a really bad game the entire gen and it becomes the best selling game ever and people start saying everyone is buying the ps4 because of the bad game even though most won't even realize the game comes with it and will only play it for a minute just to see what it is then take it out set it somewhere and buy a new game.



that would pwn.



Predictions.

1. Wii will never reach 50% market share.

2. Kz2 will sell 1.3 first week 3.5 LT.
Sales predictions for 09.

Wii - 69 - 72
PS3 - 32 - 34
X360 - 39 - 41

@ pyro... so i had a choice not to buy wii sports with my nintendo in the UK then? and in the US?

 

 I don't recall saying that but I suppose you could have imported a Japanese Wii or wait until it gets unbundled.

360/PS3 fanboys just cant accept this. Anyways this is my last comment.

If this thread explodes have fun arguing.................and grow up.

err I own a Wii too and happen to really like WiiSports. I just don't think that is should be considered the best selling game ever since it was not sold outside of Japan. 

Off the top of my head the top three non-bundeled games are

1.     Pokémon Red, Blue, and Green
2.     Nintendogs
3.     Super Mario Bros. 3

 

 

 

all three of those games have been bundled at one point or another in their respective lifetimes.

 

True, but most of their sales did not come from being bundeled.

Super Mario Land probable is the one.

Thrillhouse said it:

Super Maro Land for GameBoy still holds the crown

(Until definitive proof shows that it was ever a pack in)

Then GTA: San Andreas.

However I believe darklich13 is proposing a middle ground, a game that may have been bundled at some point but whose sales did not came mostly from these bundles.  That is going to be hard to figure out.

I thought Super Mario Land came with my gameboy....
