Let's take another look at this.
PS3:
1st party - 0.9 x 16.5 million = 14.8 million
3rd party - 4.4 x 16.5 million = 72.6 million
Total - 5.3 x 16.5 million = 87.4 million
X360:
1st party - 1.4 x 22.3 million = 31.2 million
3rd party - 5.2 x 22.3 million = 115.9 million
Total - 6.6 x 22.3 = 147.1 million
Wii:
1st party - 2.4 x 35.5 million = 85.2 million
3rd party - 3.1 x 35.5 million = 110.1 million
Total - 5.5 x 35.5 million = 195.2 million
Publishers don't really care about the attach ratio, they care about the total volume of sales. Wii, having launched a year after X360, is only a few million units behind in 3rd party software. How's that for 3rd party software doesn't sell on Wii?
