NPD confirmed recently 360 has the bigger attach rate in the US
We already know the XBox 360 had a one year headstart, so that should obviously stay this way. Also for example Halo and Gears of War series are high profile 360 exclusives in the United States.
I think there's nothing remarkable with regard to such confirmation.
The remarkable part is in the OP. According to VGChartz the PS3 install base in Europe was much smaller, yet software trackers highlight better PS3 software sales for that period.
by pointing out Japan sales when the 360 has 1.3 consoles vs 5.16 ps3s
If today 1 million extra PS3s would be sold in Japan with 1 game per console, the attach rate would drop dramtically. Understand this point?
Sure Microsoft bought exclusivety on some games for Japan which on the PS3 would have been major blockbusters, but such practices are very bad for consumers and the XBox 360 still performs like a Zombie in Japan. It's not the most glorious market for 360 fans to highlight.
you're right the attach rate is probably not much different WW at all
That was at the heart of the OP.
It used to be a big deal in 2006-2008
In reality it was never a big deal, just food for trolls...
