The topic is rates, not totals. The premise is that people who buy a WiiU do not buy games like COD. The reality is that a similar percentage buy COD as PS3 owners. There are just less WiiU owners because it is brand new.

I honestly think the WiiU attach rate is more impressive. WiiU Black Ops is competing with 2 must have titles in NintendoLand and NSMBU on the same day. Few people are buying more than 2 or 3 titles in one go.  This was not the case on PS3.  But regardless, I simply think that a 1% change from one system to the next does not make sales go from great to dismal. That's just silly.

Just because you keep saying they have similar attach rates doesn't make it true.  Both the PS3 and 360 have an attach rate of over 12% in the US according to the November NPD.  Not to mention attach rates for individual games tend to go down as systems get older, not up.  NSMBU definitely won't have a 60% attach rate in 7 years.
