Hmm but we are talking about the 3rd year, not the final numbers.

Sure... I don't remember how those consoles were in their 3rd year... I know PS4/X1 where at 2.5 attach ratio on release. Right now PS4 is 4.66, X1 4.46 and WiiU 4.86. So considering the extra year the WiiU isn't doing so much better against the other consoles, even more if we consider that PS4 and X1 have a much better digital sales presence you can see it. Another point is that During the first year PS4 had basically no free games throw at its bundles while X1 had several 1-3 free games bundle. And WiiU had 1 game bundled for a long time. So those numbers would be even smaller.

Never said they are bad just that it isn't high yet and I don't have data to compare previous gen at this point in time... and the attach ratio I put here are from VGC 4.86, also Nintendo digital sales are certainly quite lower when you don't have much space on the HDD to save many games for normal users.
