Finally i think vg does not include downloadable games so all the games are probably a lot higher attact rate |
Digital versions are the main reason this comparison isn't solid. In particular, Wii Fit U had their promo period where you could get the game for free if you had a balance board and bought yourself a pedometer, and that was the only way it was available for the first month or so. Wii Sports Club is available as single-sports by download, and was available digitally long before it was made available at retail, plus people can buy temporary access to the sports, so that's probably also why it's so apparently-low.
I'd be interested to find out what the real numbers are for those two titles. Probably nowhere near the Wii numbers, but that's because the Wii versions were good enough for a lot of people that they didn't feel the need to upgrade.
