@WoW: I believe what HS tried to say, was that looking at the distribution is irrelevant, if all the consoles have been measured by the same methods. Since we don't have any kind of reliable information about distribution, we can only look at the attach rates.
And another important thing that HS brought up, was Nintendos aim in expanding the audience. It's rather irrelevant if they manage to sell just the console and Wii Fit, if that's everything they can sell to this audience. This is where Sony failed with Singstar and Eyetoy, there wasn't much about nothing for the audience Sony tapped with the titles, while Nintendo wants to upstream them to play the core titles, like Mario Kart.
And to add something myself, since Nintendo knows that profit originates from software (if Iwata is to believe), they also want the "secondary gamer" to play games. If we assume that traditionally console have been bought for one person per household, tapping the "secondary gamer" market, would theoretically double the software sales potential with the same amount of consoles.

Vaan pannaan jalalla koreasti.
Nintendo games sell only on Nintendo system.
