The American market is entirely Wii + 360 + DS (I suspect a lot of DS titles are in NPD's 21-30 rankings). Sony's platforms are barely even a blip on the radar screen. They are really in bad shape here; I'd probably just write off this market for the rest of the generation and focus on Europe and Japan, where things are a lot more positive.

It's still hard to believe that PS3 is hovering around 15-20% market share in America this generation. Just not having much luck selling.

Most likely due to the fact that PS3 sales are being inflated due to owners using the device as a blu-ray player primarily, and a games player afterwards. Last NPD update I saw, put Sony at around a 5.0-5.5 attach ratio for software. That's abysmal for a device going on it's 3rd year. Software sales are showing it to be the case, as the PS3 is starting to look like the PSP: a functions-first device with gaming capabilities.

 

 

The problem is not just attatch rate. As systems sell more units attatch rates go naturally down. The problem is that it is low when the install base is so low.
