Considering WiiU's attach rate - which is what? 1.2? This means Nintendo is just losing money on WiiU currently.

Clearly, this is not a good situation for Nintendo to be in.

Ummmm, I am not sure where you are taking this number. But the current attach rate is 2.1.


The 1.2 number is from a report that is now weeks old.  It's outdated and irrelevant.  The current math can be done right here on VGchartz as of 12/29: 5 million games / 2.45 million Wii U's = an attach rate of basically 2 games per console.

But the reason I'm chiming in - is to remind everyone that this does not include the digital-download games via their E-Shop.  So, the attach rate is actually higher than 2.  How much higher? I have no idea.

Nintendo projected an Attach Rate of 4.36 for the Wii U in October!  So please god let that number include all of the cheaper Indie games like "Chasing Aurora" in the figure, and not just the premium titles.  Otherwise it will be yet again, another drastically wrong projection out of Nintendo...a theme for them these days.

The 1.2 attach ratio was for the US launch and for the Japanese launch.

Bundled games did not count, so most of NintendoLand's sales weren't included (which was not bundled in Japan anyway).
