Nobody buys 7-8 games when they buy  a console. 

This week, 14 months after it was replaced, Wii sold 21 times as much software as hardware.

1) They do if it was a christmas present they received with games, that they barely touched after a few months.

2) With sales as low as the Wii is getting hardware wise that is hardly surprising, a more telling fact is only having 3 games in the top 75 of software sales, 2 of those 3 clearly there for the same reason colonial marines is, that being bargain bin purchases.

If every Wii owner dropped the system like a bad habit, the attach rate would be 2-4. It's not, it's 7-8.

If lots of people were still buying wiiu games then the software to hardware ratio would be at least 1 in 35 wii owners buying games, but t's not, it's 1 in 107.

Let's take a look at these consoles in more detail.

PS4 - 1 in 7
XBO - 1 in 7
WiiU - 1 in 9
PS3 - 1 in 28
X360 - 1 in 33
Wii - 1 in 107

Well that pretty much puts game buying versus available customers into perspective now doesn't it, fat load of different that attach rate you love to churn out makes.
