| StarAleta said: The reason why Knack was doing so well is simple... If your going to fork out 400.00 on a new system you want games to play on it. I bought an xbox one and i purchased games i would not normally have purchased so i could have something to play on it because of all the money i spent on the system. Launch games generally tend to have a higher attach rate at or soon after launch...likely for that exact reason. Watch the attach rates of most games to fall on both the xbox one and the ps4 even if overall sale numbers increase (because the number of systems increases). Mario games in general have better attach rates and part of that is Nintendo just knows how to make games you want to play (being a franchise people know obviously also helps). I tend to sell games from most publishers once they are beaten...except Nintendo's....and the reason for that is i still get play time out of them after beating them. They just have more replay value. |
That's kind of why I love launch titles. There are a lot of titles I bought for system launches that I would never have played otherwise and wound up really enjoying. Zombi U, Pilot Wings, Rayman Raving Rabids, and so on.
