Multiplats may appeal more to PS3 owners in america but when it comes to absolute sales the 360 trumps it. |
Attach rate (total software/total hardware sales) might be pretty useless, but you seem to be thinking of a specific game's tie ratio (game sales/total hardware sales).
And while it might be useless when accounting for the past sales, it can be useful for devs when planning for the future: they can use tie ratios of similar games in the past to project estimated sales on each platform.
