. For example SSBB may have sold well on the wii but generally speaking it only sold at an adoption rate of ~12%. 

Isn't that still better than the adoption rate of the best selling PS2 game.

yes. you are right ps2 sold 152 million units. but Matzy will come back with another response in favour for sony

In favour of Sony? I'm a PC gamer. Good job there.

I'm not sure why anyone has brought up the PS2...My point is if SSBB sold to only ~12% of Wii owners, what makes anyone think that it will suddenly cause an increase in Wii U sales? The figures just don't add up. 

the other question is, why wouldn't it? it depends on how they are marketing it, how it looks like, how it plays. that's the same as why sony makes killzone 4 when the attach rate isn't so good imo. it's a franchise well known. known things sell better then completely new ones. and common sense should tell you that a new game increases automatically hardware sales a bit.

you are a fool if you think first party games on a Nintendo system don't have an impact on hardware sales. the attach rate could be even worse and they would still have an impact. 10 million potential buyers are 10 million potential buyers. the attach rate doesn't matter.

doesn't change the fact that games sell hardware. its not the other way around. nobody buys a console without games that interest him. The playstation series is an exception. sony always relied on optical formats to sell their consoles.
