he was banned for three days for that exact comment.  This is probably why people always seem to have misconceptions about one group or another getting away with more from the moderators, they make assumptions without all the facts. 

We've seen him get away with worse, that is why the assumption was made. 

 

@ TWR you cannot say software sales are an attach rate. it just doesn't work that way.

The attach rate is determined directly by software sales...

That's horribly innacurate way of determining attach rates. Looking at actually console sales would paint a better picture.

What the hell are you talking about?... first of all, while both attach rate and ratio are used to mean the same thing, i generally view them seperate... but both are simple mathematical calculations based on hardware and software sales.

The attach ratio is exactly that... Software sales divided by hardware sales.

The attach rate is a term often used to mean the same thing as above, but to me it simply adds a time into the equation..... thus attach rate = software sales divided by hardware sales for a given length of time.... referring back to my earlier post my simplified example showed that both X360 and PS3 had the exact same attach rate, but due to extra time on the market the X360s attach ratio was higher.

 

Attach ratio = Software/hardware

Attach rate = (software/hardware)/time period

 

What exactly is your definition of attach rate/ratio.
