That Wii Play attach ratio is really something else. What could reasonably explain this? Maybe a lack of unbundled controllers? Regardless of what happened that's extremely impressive.

Entirely antecdotal, but when I went to a major US shopping mall (Easton in Columbus) employees were talking people that already owned Wiis into buying Wii Play since it was the 'cheapest' game they could get - as it included a controller.

 

 

Haha, well i guess that's actually true. I was in line at an EB games store this past summer and the guy infront of me was buying a Wii and Smash Bros for his kid. He asked for an extra controller, and the clerk gave him this sales pitch for Wii Play, and to me the pitch was reminicent of an electronics store employee trying to sell an extended warranty to an unsuspecting customer. Anecdotal like yours, but interesting imo.
