I love numbers..
The 360 as an Attachment rate between 4-5
What does that mean?
People might of bought the 360 for Halo 3, but there buying everything else that comes out. They'll own Crackdown, Gears of War, Viva Pinata, Lost Planet, Oblivion and so on. The average user will own between 4 to 5 games.
The PS3 as an Attachment rate of 1-1.5
What does that mean?
The average PS3 user doesn't even own two games... That's insane, they own a $600 machine and they only have one game?? There's two possibilities that come to mind for this low attachment rate... These are the two reasons that I think sell PS3's.
1) PS3 Users are waiting for those killer apps that every ps3 fanboy has memorized
2) PS3 Users use it primarely for a Blu Ray player
oooo numbers, hey lets talk numbers. Lets talk about how many greatest hits are out for the 360 that gamers can buy for cheap that increases attach rate, lets talk about how many more games period that are available to give people more options and choices and opportunities to buy games.......what a terribly smug post that was just fueled by blind fanboyism, please save your condescension for something with more substance than that

The PS3 attach rate of 1.5 was taken from November of 2006, it is now up to around 3.4
http://thexboxdomain.net/2006/10/26/xbox-360-sales-statisticsestimates/
and here we see the attach rate for the 360 has risen to 5.1
and at this time last year the 360's attach rate was 3.8...so first of all, update your "numbers" that you love so much and dont cite launch attach rates from november in March and then think about the quantity of games and their prices with comparing two different consoles.
Numbers are great and fun, but the bad thing about them is anyone can post numbers with words attached, but when those numbers are false they become irrelevent aqnd the words become laughable.
