It's the same every month. PS3 can't sell software in the US at all it seems.

 

This. If you can get only a single game in the December top 20 (most important month in the year) something's wrong. Maybe a lot of people do own it primarily as a BluRay player.

 

According to VGChartz, the PS3 sold software at only a slightly lower ratio than the 360/Wii in December in NA.  The only difference was install base.  There are far cheaper Blu-Ray players out there for people who just want to watch movies. 

Maybe last Christmas people were buying PS3s as Blu-ray player, but not so much today.  The sole reason there are not more PS3 games in the top 20 is that there are 1/2 as many PS3s as 360 in NA, and 1/3 as many as the Wii.

NA Dec Software/ Total Hardware for December:
Wii: 1.35 (1.2 without bundles)
360: 1.31 (1.19 without bundles)
PS3: 1.19 (1.17 without bundles)

 

 

 

Ok then they all have the same attach ratio according to you this december.  Now if your a developer and want to make MONEY, what essentially all companies are trying to do.  What do you do?

 

Easy make it for the Wii.  Cheaper Devolopment costs, and they don't give a shit about ratio.  They want raw numbers not some percentage.  Since Wii has most hardware, if all have same attach rate that means more sales on Wii.  And even though you could say basically 50/50 market share right now so why not just multiplat to HD.  DEVELOPEMENT COSTS say hello.
