VGChartz has the attach rate at around 8.8, that's certainly not a record low.

Haven't said it is record low... I'm talking about 7th gen... but it's health enough, the problem is that tacking out massive bundles it would probably drop to low 7. Anyway Ninty make reaps of money, their only problem was lack of 3rd party sucess that made WiiU even harder to suceed.

But if you look at 6th gen PS2 (160M HW and 1.5B SW) having only 5 games over 10M, while PS3 got 85M HW and 850M SW having 7 over 10M it is quite clear how much squewed gaming got and how much they suffocated low to mid tier... niche is dropping a lot.

A bundle is still a sale though, people know when they buy the bundle that they are buying the game as well and they make the decision with that knowledge. It's not like bundling is a Nintendo exclusive practice either.

The mid tier of development was essentially gutted in the 7th gen, true, but I'd say that was more due to the polarization of everything having to be either a Triple A blockbuster or a $5 indie; the games in the middle were neglected.

yep, bundle is bundle... Just said that since WiiSports and the like were basically included in all HW sales so taking them out would make Wii drop a lot, but that doesn't matter... the console was health and had good SW sales, and Ninty sold a lot of SW on it, as I said the only down was 3rd parties sales on it. But for real Ninty fans that don't matter, they really focus more on 1st quality titles and 3rds will be played on PC or ps/xboxes... I play a lot more 1st parties than 3rd on my PSs as well.

I think maybe they gutted themselves, they should release for like 20-40 dollars depending the game, but ow well.
