Definitely a game that comes with an accessory.
We can't make that assumption because there is no standard to how these items are labelled. Either we have use the categories as intended:
- consoles go into hardware
- accessories go into accessories
- games go into games
Or it just is wild west and we can put any item into any category? If you wouldn't put a console into a game category, just because it came with a game, then you wouldn't put an accessory in a game category for the same reason. If you want to get technical, then it would be allowed to put a Sega Master System into SMS [NA] games category because it came with Snail Maze built-in and was not sold separately?
You conveniently left out the important part of my statement. The fact that these are absolutely branded and advertised as the game in question. There is a specific difference between these items.
What your black and white distribution is doing is putting games into accessories. The hierarchy of importance goes Consoles > Games > Accessories. If it includes a console, it goes under consoles. If it does not include a console, but it includes a game, then it goes under games. If it does not include a console, and does not include a game, then it goes under accessories. That's how simple it works without it being "the wild west".
Consoles are not branded specifically as a game, they are branded and advertised as hardware that includes a game. These games are branded and advertised as the game that includes an accessory. Another example is the fact that no store would ever file these under an Accessory in their inventory, they would be sold as games, not accessories.
The SMS analogy doesn't work because the game isn't physical, it's a digital copy, we don't file digital copies under physical categories. Not only that, but the game is a physical part of the system and cannot be removed, transferred, or separated from the hardware, it is an extension of it.
