Well... the attach ratio and how well the Wii software sells (a lot lot more than the PS3) proves that that is not true.
=p
In fact, if you take into account the attach ratio of the Wii with that huge install base, compared to the PS3 install base and attach rate, a lot more people are playing the Wii than the PS3. |
SW: TFU, Madden '09 told me to say hello. PS3 outsells Wii in software even with its smaller userbase.
There may be exceptions, but the PS3 usually outsells the Wii in software... unless the software we're talking about is shovelware. So far, not many quality games sold well on Wii. Compare to PS3... and your statement is stright from dreamland.

This is factually incorrect, Xen. The Wii sells more software even considering the PS3's install base, not in spite of it: that is, if the Wii and PS3 had exactly identical install bases, the Wii would still have more software sold. The people arguing software sales are correct. The Wii has a better attach rate than the PS3 in America and Japan (and at times Europe, depending on who has just had a big game come out). If the Wii is a machine people only pull out occasionally, why does it sell so much software? |
How is it that VGC numbers disagree with you though? recent numbers, that is. Not '07 ones. And not Mario Kart and Wii"-" numbers. Purely quality third party software.

Ah ha ha, so this is now a "quality third party" discussion? Please. This is a discussion of software in general, not "Software minus Nintendo software. Also games like Carnival Games. Also no Mario and Sonic." Don't move the goalposts. The question is: "Does the Wii sell software?" The answer is yes, it sells quite a bit, which suggests people aren't letting their Wiis collect dust. If people weren't using their Wiis, why are they buying so much software for it?
VGC reaches the same conclusion that the FRs do: the Wii's attach rate is better than the PS3's.

The number of factors involved if we consider all the games the Wii sells is too much, take for example the huge "extened userbase" the Wii has. ATM, I can't be bothered to discuss it. See you at attach ratios at the end of '09. Comparing the two then would be much more fair.
