Once again Nintendo proves it knows the business world. Just so you guys know the original Mario Bros was a bundle and Sony along with MS have games bundled in with their system. The only difference is Nintendo bundles sell more it would seem.

I don’t care if the how many bland games are sold to non-gamers as long as it doesn’t stymie the development of great, high quality games for the real next gen consoles.

Wow, now that was unexpected. But, it’s all Nintendo dominating this all time list, nothing from Sony or Microsoft…HAHA!

I was under the impression that far more people purchased The Sims or World of Warcraft that these numbers show.

They were in bundles, true, but not from the very beginning and not with every system sold. Otherwise, Halo would have 25 million in sales instead of just 6 million. That’s the difference here, and I agree with SeasonedSalt.

wht the hell?. i agree with the fact tht wii sports just shouldn’t count based on bundled sales. yet maybe nintendo does kno wht they’re doing. sry to brake it to ya “seasonedsalt”, but both halo and mgs were bundled as well with their respected machines, giving them more then their fair chance u said they didnt hav. so its not so much tht they didnt get a fair chance, rather, they just “NEVER” had a chance.

Wii Sports does not get bought by ANYONE – it get’s shoved in your face when you buy the Wii console, wether you want it or not. It’s a good game………but i think it should be disqualified from “Official” sales figures.

What if Sony bundled a copy of “Driver 3″ with every PS2 console??? That game would’ve “Sold” well over 130 million units by now…..it doesn’t neccessarily mean 130 million people just HAD to have that game.

thats crap
you can bundle any game with a console and call it the best selling game to date

I agree with DavidGX. These sales shouldn’t really count because most of those people aren’t buying the game, they are just buying the Wii which happens to have the game for free. How could Halo or GTA or MGS ever compete with that in sales? It’s just not really a fair comparison if you ask me.

Did someone change it? It says NES up there already. I was confused by your comment because I thought it said NES, I looked and it DID say NES, so now I’m just wondering if the world is going screwy or if someone already edited it.

Wait.. this counts the ones that were sold with Wii systems?

Bullshit. Doesn’t count. Fuck that.

Yeah, it does kinda. So fake, in fact, that I might as well actually put the Blaznats’ face on there. Or did I already? Hmmmm….

It’s okay. SeasonedSalt just lay back and relax in Cookigaki’s bed, Cookigaki will make things better.
