Forums - Nintendo Discussion - the attach rate of wii u games compared to the wii

okay so we all know the wii u is not a success yet but lets look at the attach rate( What percent of each game has sold compared to console owners)

So i looked at the attach rate of games on the wii and compared them to the wii u, i picked 7 nintendo games and did not include sequels,

After doing this it shows me a few things

1.) the  death of casuals on the wii

2) nintendo og ip games have a better attatch rate on the wii u than the wii

wii sports  81.2 percent                                                              wii sports u:  0.29 percent

mario kart wii 34.23 percent                                                    mario kart 8: 34.85 percent

new super mario bros 27.20 percent                                       new super mario bros u: 59.42 percent

wii fit 22.45 percent                                                                     wii fit u:  5.42 percent

super mario galaxy  10.97 percent                                           super mario 3d world:31.57 percent

wii party 8.11  percent                                                                 wii party u: 19 percent

legend of zelda : twilight princess  6.89 percent                   legend of zelda: the wind waker: 14.71 percent

donkey kong country returns 6.19  percent                           Donkey kong country returns tropical freeze: 9.14 percent

Also everyone that sais dktf was a flop, really?

Finally i think vg does not include downloadable games so all the games are probably a lot higher attact rate

I like it.



NNID: garretslarrity

Steam: garretslarrity

.... this comparison is flawed

attach rates of individual games always go down the higher the console sales and the older the console (because more games release and a lower percentage picks up the older games with their new console)



Do sales matter more to a company or attach rate?

sales  of course, but a high attach rate is always welcome

I like it a lot. The casual stuff(rip wii fit :( ) are lower while Zelda increased!!!

MK remains the same, for now. But remember this time there is dlc.

but we are not only talking of mario kart

and yes, if the WiiU continues to be unsuccessful MK might even have a higher attach rate than now when all is said and done, but if it becomes a decent success the attach rate even of that should shrink
