If you had your way, nobody would be able to prove anything.
I'm just putting together some number and giving a possible reason as to why the numbers are this way. You don't have to go off the deep end and be all nihilistic about it.
I said in the OP that there was some overlap between some demographics and that the numbers weren't completely rigid. It is still a pretty good fit for the data.
To those who are talking about attach rates:
360 is about 8 or 9
say people who bought wii fit bought wii fit, have wii sports, and possibly another fitness game. Like I said, the numbers aren't completely rigid, there is always bound to be some variability. But let's say those people do only own 2 games. 51M wii owners*6 attach rate = 306M 20M wii fit owners*2games=40M.
266M games /31M owners =8.6 attach rate. And all of a sudden, wii attach rate makes sense with the other traditional console's attach rate.
PS3 has a lot of consoles with 0 attach rate btw. Who knows how many, but GTA4 only sold to about 1/4th of the base, and MGS about 1/3rd. It's possible that the people who own it only for BR with maybe 1 game is ~3-6M
@c0rd
this actually took a lot of work man lol.
Similar "traditional" core games for ps3 or 360 would be games like MGS, GTA, Halo, perhaps COD or other FPSes
