Yeah situation is tragic I mean this Sony overpriced console have sold only 13M of software on 8.9M userbase (1.46 game per console sold) not like the mighty X360 which sold 21M software with small 17.8M userbase (1,17 game per console) or the ultimate software monster Wii which sold 26M of games on 36.5M userbase (for a truly amazing 0,71 per console sold). Truly doom is near... ...oh wait :) PS. Thinking about it those ratios should be around 10% higher as I compared NPD (us only to VGC console numbers which are whole America) |
your numbers are wrong for Wii, the Wii only sold 23.8m units in America, not 36.5m (although, I wish you were right 
) for an amazing 1.09 games per console. However, these totals don't include Wii Sports which some people buy the console with no extra game, and NPD doesn't count Wii Sports (as far as I know, and these numbers back that up)
So the Wii is a lot closer than you had it there, but I'd trade the attach rate for >50% global console hardware marketshare.
EDIT: (after looking at the numbers again, you took the DS install base, not the Wii one)
