Wii Sports in Japan has < 75% attach rate and that is for a game that actually sells the hardware. Wii Play has < 75% attach rate and anyone buying a new Wii and not getting this vs a stand alone wiimote is just stupid. Its only $10 for christ's sake! So a game that comes with a device that won't be used in even 5% of the games available for the Wii has absolutely no way of reaching >20% attach rate in the life of the machine. Granted, it will sell really well, and will get far more support than any previous peripheral has ever done on any console. But, 75% is just asking for a spanking. |
To further my point, look at the NES Zapper. Possibly the best utilized addon to a console ever. It was packed in for a large part of the NES's life and it had a decent number of games that used it. However, even without looking it up I can garauntee you it had less than a 40% attach rate.
Please someone look this up as I'm sure I'm right.
I would like to just restate my part in bold.
