the attach rate is, explain to me why does it matter and if you are an exec, why would you be happy about it? 4.5 mil sales is still just 4.5 mil sales, which would still be a drop from OOT, those are facts. ANd if we wanna talk attach rate, lets bring up Skyward Sword, cause that game should have done way better. ANd no it needing motion plus isnt an excuse as it came bundled with the game, Resort came before it, which a LOT of people bought, and by that time Wiis were being sold with it.

If you comparing sales of some games you cant ignore facts like if some game was launch title or not and instal base.

Actual MM was released after OoT and had huge drop in sales, WW that was relase after MM with 4.5m is above MM sales. Also fact.

Yes, required Motion Plus or Remote Plus is excuse. It came bundled with game but at what price!? Resort has sales of 33m so basically 1/3 of all Wii owners had Remote Plus. Wii with Remote Plus arrived at end of 2010, basically when Wii sales were already in fall. Not to mention that Skyward Sword arrived on Wii when already was dead and huge number of people already migrated to other platforms.

 

false, the wii motion plus came out summer of 09 with Sports resort. dont know where the 2010 came from.  and 1/3rd is also false, that only accounts of the Wii SPORTS RESORT bundle sales. other games had bundles (that sold like crap) and Ninty started bundling it with the system shortly after, that winter. So its probably closer to half of Wii owners having motion plus. So thats stil an install base of nearly 50mil. more than N64 and GC. yet it still sold less than WW for GC and far less than OOT for N64. so attach rate really doesnt mean anything at the end of the day.
