Wii Sports has sold a total of 0 copies.  Considering it is a free game that comes with Wii.

You could just as easily say its sold 11 million copies since its bundled with the Wii.

Personally I agree with just about everything said when relating to the Wii completely kicking the 360's ass at the moment.  Flame me, I don't care.

But yeah, this news report was BBC just putting through their own propaganda about convincing the public that games as violent as Halo (which isn't even that violent) are bad.  The BBC aren't stupid (like FOX 11 ), they're very good at getting the exact specific message they want the public to hear without them realising.

I remember when some guy got murdered and Manhunt was blamed, the BBC eventually reported that the police had come to the conclusion Manhunt was unrelated in the murder.  Then when Manhunt 2 was actually banned, they said that the original Manhunt was "related" to the murder, not mentioning that previous important detail.

And there was that Panorama report on violent Youtube videos.  One of the British higher ups for Google said that they were happy to cooperate with law enforcement, but did not feel it was their responsibility to judge which (violent) videos were illegal.  So what did the BBC do?  Hey, let's fine some random chief of police in some obscure city to disagree with Google on camera.

They even do things like not making ANY news on the arguably liberty destroying ID cards on TV, but keep plenty of stories on it tucked away on their website.

And yes, we have to pay £135 a year for this shit (the TV license mostly funds the BBC).  I can't believe the government keep saying the public approve of this.

I'm in the same boat - did I miss the referendum on the TV License fee? I'd love to be able to opt out of all BBC channels and not pay a penny to them. You've gotta hand it to them though, the recent advertising tactics (yes, we pay for the BBC to advertise their own products too) for the TV License encourages you to set it up via monthly Direct Debit, in the hope you might forget about how much you actually pay for this crap.

Back OT, a lot of news programmes try to cover technology and almost always get it wrong. Either they should hire someone to cover the story or not bother, as misleading knowledge is worse than ignorance.
