Well when games like Brawl and Metroid come out I'm sure those numbers will fluctuate (mario strikers maybe, it actually has decent online play I hear). It's been slow recently anyway.

 yes they will fluxuate. Think when Halo3 comes out for the 360... XD 50%

This is more of a comparison of the entire libarys. The 360 has the larger advantage on the libary, but they have smoked GOD only knows how many units, that are bricked, and not running, and who knows how many arent in active use.

The PS3 has a damn good excuse to be that high. It's a new console, with a decent game launched this week.

The Wii, has a GREAT GREAT GREAT lineup. Zelda, Wario, Rayman, RedSteel, Mario Party and quite a few others.

All the PS3 has to really reply with in terms of lineup, is resistance, and motorstorm.  

The only reason the PS3 numbers are as high as they are, I'll say this agian, a new game was released on the period. They would be around 4%.

The 360 numbers are higher than I would have thought.

The DS is where I thought the DS/360 would be.

The Wii is much lower than I thought it would be, I expected 5-10%. I never looked at the numbers in this way.

 

These numbers dont mean much, unless you do that for every week, average them out over 2 months, and then you can compare the consoles.  

One way you could do it is go with the true attach rate, but you cant count Wii sports/play, because of what I said above, We just halved the Wii's attach rate. It went from 'decent' to horrible. In all honesty, I'm amazed that zelda, and wario have droped as low as they have, AAA games like that usually are bought by around 25-50% of new consoles sold, over the next 6-12 months, ESPECIALLY exclusive ones. Zelda is holding at 1/6 bought zelda.

Resistance is still holding roughly a 25% of new console buyers are buying resistance. Was resistance that great? Was it that amazing? I didnt think so, yet it's sold quite a few copies considering the number of consoles sold.

 

My point here isnt PS3 rules and Wii sucks. For all I care a freight-train could run through sony headquarters and I would laugh... I would laugh a little more becuase I would say something like. "the train went wii wii wii all the way into the wii factory." But my point here is, that's low, a hell of a lot lower than I thought. Wii game sales are low.
