Double standard with Super Mario 3D World and GT6...

WTF am I reading here?

installbase doesnt mean anything? WTF

2300 games vs 130? WTF you can't use that worthless comparison...

one game have an 1.8% attach rate the other have 20-25% attach rate

Seriously? If, IF one of these games is a "flop" it sure as hell isn't the one with the bigger attach rate...

The damage control have really gotten out of hand on VGC these last couple of years...but this...this...

Install base means something, so does the number of competitors. Both factors are relevant...unlike attach rate, which is the real worthless analysis.

Want to see how worthless it is? COD Ghosts has an attach rate of 7,7% on PS3 and 8,9% on X360 while having 40,5% on PS4 and 43,2% on XOne. How does the SAME GAME manage to have around 5 times more attach rate on PS4 and XOne than in their predecessors?? I will give you a clue: competition. Now look at Assassin's Creed IV: 2,5% on PS3 - 2,3% on X360 - 30,5% on PS4 - 18,4% on XOne. Again, same game, very different values between tie ratios of 7th gen and 8th gen consoles. Lets go to the Sports genre, look at FIFA14: 5,6% on PS3 - 4,2% on X360 - 31,2% on PS4 - 23,5% on XOne.

Your logic seems to be full of holes. To be honest, I think there's no ground at all. It's just worthless. Even a poor game like Knack (12,4%) is able to get more attach rate than any platformer on PS3 (the best being LittleBigPlanet with 6,5%) or even than any 3D Mario on Wii (<11%).

If there is someone doing damage control it is surely not me
