Nintendo Consoles Are In A League Of Their Own.

You get a Wii U for 1 or 2 games you really wanna play and thats it.

Except that the software attach ratio proves that as incorrect. 

 

Why does this false notion persist? 

How meaningful is a software attach ratio? Its only natural that systems with fewer games and a smaller install base will have higher software attachment ratios.

Anyway I think the notion is very much based in reality, most people buy a Wii U for one of Nintendo's key titles (Mario Kart, Smash Bros, Zelda, Xenoblade even?). That doesn't mean they don't pick up any other titles down the road but people buy Nintendo systems for only a few games and this is very evident in how most releases do almost nothing to boost hardware sales.
