What i can't figure out is that... compared to this.

"In terms of software tie ratio, as I touched on earlier, if you focus in simply on the month of November, while we sold almost a million units of hardware, we sold over 6 million units of software. So, just for the month that's over a 6 to 1 attach rate. Up to the month of November, life to date, we are at about a 6.4 attach rate. So certainly what this suggests is with a greater range of software titles, and with strong franchises coming out for the Wii, the consumer is buying more and more software and we expect that our attach rate will continue to increase over the life of the system."

Are they talking about shipped software? It can't be can it? If it was that would be a pretty crappy way to judge "attach rate" plus they use the 6 million units referenced in NPD this week. Is he counting Wii Sports as 5 games here? Or maybe including virtual console numbers? (Seems unlikely) Even if he was counting wii sports that would only increase the attach ratio by 1.

If you only take November into account, the Wii sold 1 Million Hardware, but 6 Million Software ( 1 Million alone on Galaxy). If every month stay that way til infinity the wii woud have an attache rate of 6. Since 6 is more than 3.8 (or whatever the current was) the attachrate of the Wii is growing. :o)


Yeah but he says "Up to the month of November, life to date, we are at about a 6.4 attach rate. ". That would seem to indicate, all the months up till november? Or does he just mean Both Novembers so far?
