I think it's ludicrous to think that they're not counting pack-ins, Gamefreak. Case in point: When do you see used copies of Super Mario Bros without Duck Hunt on the cartridge? As far as I know (and I'm pretty damn sure I'm right), they NEVER sold the Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt cartridge separate from the NES... if you bought those games outside of the pack-in, you bought either Super Mario Bros or you bought Duck Hunt... separately. Sure, there are a few copies of Super Mario Bros floating around, but if it sold FORTY MILLION worldwide, we'd be DROWNING in them at the used stores... like we drown in Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt combo cartridges.
Back on topic, though, Midway can screw off. Nintendo doesn't need them at all. If they were to buy ANY company, they should buy Capcom. And that's it. Midway doesn't fit with Nintendo like Capcom does... I don't even think Midway is a *halfway* decent game company.
