It does sound like a long time to me. Releasing a sort of demo and after a year the full game is still not out? Weird.RpgN said:
Yeah dude, us dutchies have to keep an eye on each other :lol That's a bummer, and I think a junior status like that is permanent unless a mod changes it manually.

Does that mean when we look at worldwide numbers there should always be two entries for Wii Sports: one for the standalone purchases and one for the pack-ins? When a major retailer offers Mario Kart free with a DS purchase, do we have to count those separately?Laguna said:

And what are you trying to tell me with your retail example? Is it really that hard to understand that there is a difference between inhouse bundles from Sony,MS, N and custom bundles offered by retailers?Did you miss the word "worldwide"? In this thread we're only discussing Japan, but if bundles really should be counted separately from standalones that principle should apply no matter the venue.Laguna said:
You're confusing two issues. I'm not talking about whether GT5P Spec II and GT5P Spec III should be counted together, I'm talking about whether bundled and standalone copies of GT5P Spec III should be counted together. I think they should be, and the only reason I can see for your disagreement doesn't hold water (see below).Laguna said:What will you say when GT5 gets released, should we combine GT5 with GT5Prologue? it also will just be an update from the last GT5P only a bigger one, you know.
Yes, it really is that hard to understand. I'm having to guess at the rationale behind your stance, but it seems to me that the only plausible reason to separate a (officially) bundled game from the standalone version is that the consumer didn't have to choose to buy the bundled game, it just came with the hardware they were buying anyway. But surely that same reasoning applies to any bundling, no matter the source.Laguna said:

I haven't said one way or the other before, but yes, I think Wii Sports is the bestselling videogame of all time. That it is often bundled is a reason for that achievement, not a reason to deny that achievement.Laguna said:

Edit:
Probably more meaningful is that Captain Smoker's numbers are supposed to be through 20090104, whereas the Famitsu numbers would only be through 20081228. Dengeki for this week had Wii with 300K more in software than the PSP, so maybe that's some of the disparity?

What about the Wii then? It's down by 20% as well. We may be seeing the continued shift away from home consoles towards handheld gaming (including phones), superimposed over other factors.Lightning said:

Wii Sports Resort will be bundled (i think so at least) with the new Wii Motion+ addon. I wonder if that could be a factor that will make Wii Sports Resort sell alot of copieskswiston said:
It probably would have sold alot of copies without the Wii Motion+ addon though, but with this addon, it might end up selling even more, i think it should be interesting to see how it sells 
Ah ok, thanks for the info!TJ Spyke said:
Are there announced any more Wii games that will support the Wii MotionPlus by the way? I would assume that more Wii games will come that supports Wii MotionPlus, but what about around the time when Wii Sports Resort is released? Selling the Wii MotionPlus addon separately might be bought for a second (or more) controller, since Wii Sports Resort have 2 (or maybe more as well) player at the same time support, like with that sword fighting thinigie UraMallas said:

You're going to seriously sit here and put words in my mouth? I've never said they weren't in competition so get the fuck out, with that shit.
