Wii-Play!!!

Yup, it's Wii-Play! Not GTA, Call of Duty, New Super Mario Bros., or Guitar Hero. A non-game! LOL!

I dont get how NPD considers Wii Play a game, but not wii fit (they consider it a peripheral) :/ ..... The only reason anyone has this game is for the extra controller. People bought wii fit to play wii fit..

It's a controller that comes with a game, for the price of a controller. Any household consisting of more than one person should own it.

No I'm pretty sure their are dumb parents out there who would rather have their kids beat their wii mote then taking them to the park.

Wii Play had so much potential. It could of been great but they completely screwd it up. The ping pong minigame could've been really fun but it ended up being boring as hell.

And besides which, I'm pretty sure most people only bought Wii play for the wiimote.

If it wasn't wii play, it would be wii fit. If it wasn't wii fit, it would be nintendogs. It's a nintendo game either way i guess.

Sales = Quality or at least that's how a lot of System Warriors look at things. So I presume Wii Play is the greatest game ever released :o

don't understand why this is such a hard concept. Oh and the people who are complaining about bundles, what about the million copies of uncharted and Halo (among others) that were bundled with a consoel? We have to minus those from their totals too right?

Nothing wrong with the game or enjoying the game. The point is simply that pointing to it as the best selling title ever doesn't make sense since the majority of people didn't buy it because of the game but because of the controller. As posted earlier, if we really want to include bundled things, the games included in Windows would have outsold Will Play by about one gazillion to one (give'n'take a few :) )

yeah but TECHNICALLY it's impossible to know why anyone buys a a game unless you ask them. So we should just throw out this accomplishment alltogather? Doesn't seem right..

That's kinda my point, it's not really an accomplishment. The game sold well but it didn't set any records if you start looking at games bundled with something else as valid competitors. That said, good for Nintendo. They obviously made a successful bundle that their consumers like. If people like the game and get a second controller that they needed / wanted.. everyone wins. I just don't agree with it setting a record for most games sold :)

To those who live and die by NPD, this may be a great achievement.

Now those of us with an actual functioning brain, the reason for this is obvious.

there are 2 different kinds of bundles

1 where an item comes free. the other where the included item comes at a discount price

wii comes bundled with wiisports for free, so its NOT counted

for wiiplay, you actually have to pay $10 for the game, therefore its counted

the games that come with windows are free, therefore they arent counted

LMFAO This should be made into a POSTER and hung in front of Nintendo's headquarters. My friends and I pretty much have the same story with our Wii purchases.
