so the wii sold 38 million and the Xbox360 35 million 3rd party games. Well I never doubted that the wii would sell more than Xbox360, but the Wii is selling not that much in relation to the Userbase. So the wii sold 3 million copies more than the Xbox360 with 13.5 million more users. Do you think that is impressive?
second graph: don't know if NPD includes Wii Sports or Wii Play. If not, they have a worse ratio than X360, if so, take the 5.3 (or whatever) - 1 for Wii Sports or Wii Play. Or -1.5 for both (because almost every second wii has an extra controller - and wii play. 36 million wiis sold, 16.2m wii play.) Well that would bring the wii to the 3rd place.
anyway it all depends if you count bundled software, that you HAVE to buy, if you want the console (at least in Europe). For me it is stupid to say the wii moved software because of this and a game you get for extra 10$ for a new remote. That is like including Arcade sales to the Xbox360 software sales. Acutally latest arcade-games might be more expensive. ^^ |
You know, if you don't know something, you really shouldn't try making sweeping generalizations about it, make analysis on it, and come to conclusions based on faulty data when it would be easy to find the real answers yourself.
NPD data is for the US, not the entire world. NPD counts Wii Play but not Wii Sports or any other software bundled with consoles. So that invalidates the entirety of your post right there.
Not only that, but software makers really don't care about attach rate as much as they do raw software totals. Then don't get paid on attach rate, they get paid on how much the game actually sells.
