If a copy of MGS or Halo was bundled with every 360 or PS3 we wouldnt be having this conversation at least not these many threads. Im gonna leave it at that.

I say no. I didn't even want Wii sports, and I barely played it when I got it. That game forced itself on me like rape. It's the best seller. I can't dispute that. Technically, I did buy it.

I still don't accept the baby it gave me.

You were ANGRY?

I exaggerated a bit.  I wouldn't have bought Wii Sports, but I'm glad it was free.  I just hate the fact that it beat Super Mario Bros.  (Which I also got as part of a bundle) for best selling game.  I'm biased towards Itallian guys with moustaches.

 



Yes, most people got Wiis just because of Wii sports.

No. Qualities aside, outside of "japan", it's bundled, not sold.
Except for VGC, I haven't seen any single serious data institut taking it in account for US or Europe zones.

It's not the best seller. Minesweeper is, with almost 1.3 billion sold. Bundled games count right...?

You know the answer, how many of these threads are there going to be, etc, etc, etc, etc.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

Oh yes it does.

Many people bought Wii Sports, the console was just a bonus.

What about snake on the nokia mobile phone? That shit is clearly the best selling game ever.
