"[Our former customers] are unable to find software which they WANT to play."
"The way to solve this problem lies in how to communicate what kind of games [they CAN play]."

Satoru Iwata, Nintendo President. Only slightly paraphrased.

same argument..again

what about the fact that duckhunt and SMB came on the same cart in some cases, 1 cart = 2 games sales....w00t

THIS CHART IS NOT ABOUT WHO WANTED TO BUY WHAT!
it is purely the top ten software chart, nothing to do with who plays them for how long, or who would be willing to buy them.
If you want to make a seperate list for consumer choice sales then do, but there are lots of store pack ins too, maybe a store packs in three games with a console and you want two of them but not the third, yet the pack is the same price as the console alone + the two games you want.....you are not going to turn down a free game whether you want it or not...good look trying to figure out who wanted to buy which game.

If Wii sports was sold seperately for 50p and put next to all the Wii boxes in stores, would you count it then?
