Its sad not to see MSG 4 in the top ten

It's sad to see Wii Play is number 1... rofl

Nah, I think the controller was the reason why the game pushed those numbers. With all the Wii hardware selling like crazy, its a good deal in most people's minds I think. If Nintendo did not have a Wiimote packaged with it, it would had bombed in retail.

At least 90% of people always buy an extra controller with their consoles. That is the reason why Wii Play did so well...you get a game + controller = the win for a lot of customers out there.

Yeah, I understand why it sold so much. I bought Wii Play too.

Me too. I bought it because I needed an extra controller haha I played it once at my friends house, and have not touched it since. I don't dislike it, its more of a demo than a game to me haha
