Its difficult to say how much of a success Wii Sports and to an extent Wii Play and Sports resort have been as games as they have all come bundle with stuff.

My point especially applies to Wii Sports as if you want a Wii you don't get a choice about getting sports or not.

Im not saying Sports, Play and Resort are bad games its just that announcing 50 Million sales of something thats advertised as a free part of the bundle doesn't really mean much

By far the most surprising hit of those mentioned is New Super Mario Bros on the DS - such a traditional and straightforward game, it beggars belief that it has sold so well. No wonder they're pushing a very similar game onto the Wii this month.
