How much sales potential does the Wii really have?

I don't really understand how you can say that there are people with only Wii Fit. The Wii has a higher attach rate than the PS3 at 6.02. If the 20 million people with Wii Fit don't have any other games, that would mean the Attach rate for the rest of the Wii Audience would be closer to 9 or 10.

Not that I like to defend PS3, but they have a great attach rate. A good percentage of PS3 owners have 0 games, they don't even have a free game that counts towards their attach rate as several people bought a PS3 because of it being an entry point Blu-ray player and have never bought any games for the system whatsoever. 

I am positive that Nintendo has research that shows that at least half their owners are in the buy only 1 - 3 games per year category.

I'm not saying the PS3 has a bad attach rate. I'm saying that the Wii has a better attach rate, and assuming that 20 million people in that attach rate only own 2 games would move the attach rate from 'good' to 'implausible'.

 

On a side note, I only buy 1-3 games per year. (Maybe 3-5 is more accurate).
