The attach rate being "good" or "bad" is irrelevant. How does the attach ratio * the installed base compared to the Xbox 360. They're both much lower than the Xbox 360, making the Xbox 360 a much more attractive platform for publishers. Further, revenue suggests profit but doesn't mean profit. Making money is all that matters. If you made 10x as much revenue on a Xbox 360 game as you did on a Wii game, but the Wii game made twice as much profit, then the revenue indicator would be completely irrelevant wouldn't it? In most cases companies brag about revenue when they have nothing to brag about. The conversation goes like this: "Look at how much money we brought in." "But you didn't generate a profit, so you were a failure." "We know, but it sounds better to say we made the most revenue than it does to say we were a failure at our core business strategy, so we'll say we made the most revenue." |
this is what really matters to me. After all debt and bills are paid how much more or less you get from profit is all that matters, which is why i tend to ignore revenue and go for profit increase by pct instead of numbers.
